Thanks I understand the theory behind this but I can’t get it to work.

I have a jellyfin.mydomain.com subdomain pointing at my VPS ip. On my home server I have Nginx Proxy Manager listening to 192.168.8.1:8998 (http) and 8999 (https) From my home server I forward port 80 from the VPS to local port 8999 like this:

ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:8998 root@vps-ip

Then on npm I define a proxy to localhost:8096 (jellyfin) for any traffic sent to jellyfinn.mydomain.com.

But I can’t access jellyfin remotely.

Check all the steps individually then:

check that the ip resolves to the VPS IP at the location you’re testing this

set up the tunnel to bypass the proxy (connect it directly to jellyfin)

check that jellyfin works directly

check the proxy directly, with curl connected to the proxy with the header “Host” set to the domain

check that the VPS firewall didn’t block port 80

normally you wouldn’t be able to forward port 80 with a normal ssh user but I see you’re logging in as root so it should be working
