People are arguing that Jellyfin is inherently unsafe, or more so than another web application like plex and therefore if you provide friends access to it, they MUST use a VPN. That’s not true. You can host Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and it’s accessible just like other web applications. Your friends don’t need to learn how to use a VPN. They can login just like they login to other websites.
Ok, where did I say any of that exactly? I never said it was a jellyfin only issue anywhere, and I sure as hell didn’t say anything about VPN, as much as you didn’t say anything about a proxy until now.
And congrats on using a proxy and exposing your server to said proxy, you’re just proving my point by not exposing directly to the internet as your previous comments implied.
