Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media
abcdqfr@lemmy.world 1 day agoLet’scrypt and port forward. Sprinkle on some free ddns with a sync script/job to keep ddns pointing to your real public IP. Can even roll in some headscale if you’re feeling adventurous
Feeling adventurous is exactly what you need if you decide to expose Jellyfin to the Internet (a reverse proxy adds nothing to security)

Jellyfin doesn’t open up your network unless you specifically allow remote access exactly like Plex. The only difference is Jellyfin doesn’t have the encrypted tunnel built in- you need to know it needs it and add it yourself.
Plex has had bugs that allowed remote access into your home’s Plex server. nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-34158

That poster specifically said if you open jellyfin up to the internet ……
Reading comprehension and Jellyfin stanning don’t go well together

Which Plex does by default. He doesn’t understand that running Plex at home doesn’t open itself up to the Internet. I specifically referenced a CVE that let hackers into your home if you ran Plex.
His claim that securing Jellyfin with an encrypted tunnel does nothing is false.
