Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 day agoJellyfin 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

He said an encrypted tunnel does nothing. I don’t even run Jellyfin but that statement is false.
An encrypted tunnel and a reverse proxy are Ber different things. He (I) never talked about a tunnel and neither did the comment I (he) responded to

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.

He never claimed that in the comment you replied to.
Plex doesn’t open a port to the internet at large, unsecured no less, like jellyfin does.

You obviously don’t use Plex to claim it doesn’t need an open port for remote access:

I already posted a CVE that allowed hackers access to a Plex server running at home.
