  Sorry, but the SEO on “Q2” is pretty bad. What are you referring to? And what are the actual risks of a port being exposed to the outside world via an off-the-shelf router? Surely they can always hit my IP, and if this port is only exposed for Jellyfin, it would be just as vulnerable as any other port that calls out, right? I ask that knowing that it must be wrong, but I don’t understand how.

    There is always risk with exposing something to the Internet or untrusted people. You need to take steps to mitigate the risk.

    Make sure you patch
    
    make sure you only expose as little as possible
    
    use https/tls
    
    have good, automated, tested backups to media that gets disconnected!
    
    having access logs enabled
    
    Isolate and separate from any private/internal stuff as much as possible.
    
        Separate hardware
    
        separate VLANs
    
        separate VMs

      That’s why my reply to use vpn. Wireguard is silent, so it won’t respond without valid key.

      Oh, sorry, haha. There’s a lot of jargon thrown around in a sub like this, and I thought this was one I missed.

        No worries, sorry for using shortand. I was on phone and I always misclick with soft keyboard, so I tend to use shorthand there.

  So how do you deal with the fact that So many services on the phone tell you to turn off VPN to use them? I’m turning the VPN off and on several times a day on my phone and am always annoyed about it, because I need it on so I can get notifications and calls from my parents home network.

  But every time I need to pay with Samsung Pay I have to turn it off, every time I want to log in to a government website I have to use this 2FA PASS app here in Korea and I have to turn the VPN off.

  So often I forget to turn it on again, it’s so annoying, that this alone makes me want to put my stuff directly on the internet without a VPN and just keep stuff updated.

    Never. I vpn to home, so my ip is home ip.

      But those services detect that I have VPN on and force me to turn it off, otherwise they just exit.

        My VPN tunnel automatically turns on when I leave my home lan. All traffic is tunneled and leaves my home network.

        Are you able to use the internet with VPN turned on when you’re out and about? You may simply need to set that.
