Comment on A few Questions about reverse proxies and running your own Jellyfin server

I use Caddy as a reverse proxy for my jellyfin instance instead of Nginex, I think that they are both valid, another thing other people said in the comment is to access jellyfin via wireguard tunnel and I confirm that is the best choice if you don’t have specific needs, let me explain. The reverse proxy automatically generates ssl certificates using let’s encrypt allowing you to cast from an android phone to a Google chromecast (this seems to be the only way to do it and works very well for me). I also configured other services on caddy, in my setup I block every request to the reverse proxy that doesn’t arrive from inside my local network (except jellyfin so I can use it remotely), I know that it’s not the intended use of a reverse proxy but it makes some things possible that otherwise will need more configuration:

If you think this lazy use of the reverse proxy could be a problem please tell me your thoughts!
