Comment on Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network

As others have said, Tailscale is the most pragmatic solution. It’s a mesh VPN based on Wireguard. It’s implemented in such a way that you don’t need a static IP and don’t need to open any ports on your firewall. The caveat is that you either need to register an account on tailscale.com (it’s free for small-scale use) or set up a self-hosted alternative like Headscale. Then you have to install the Tailscale client on each of the hosts you want to access and log into your account.

Tailscale nodes will be accessible using an internal, private address in the 100.64.0.0/8 address space. You can also set up a split DNS that allows you to access your hosts using a DNS name like hostname.your-tailnet-name.ts.net.
