I assume you have a dynamic ip. what I did for that scenario: setup a dyndns hostname somewhere, configure a subdomain (e.g. jellyfin.example.com) with a cname dns record pointing to the dyndns hostname. you will have to setup updating of the dyndns jostname, this can be done in the fritz box and port forwarding to your jellyfin pc.

IPv6 may also “just work” nowadays, too, especially if the aim is to connect from mobile or other consumer networks. Corporate environments are still hit & mostly miss.

you mean without a dynamic hostname in between? but then you would still need to know about a changed prefix, wouldn’t you?

Dynamic DNS is probably still required, unless his ISP issues dedicated or very long term IPv6 leases.
