What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

    I have had Jellyfin directly open to the Internet with a reverse proxy for years. No problems.

      If your reverse proxy only acknowledges jellyfin exists if the hostname is correct, you won’t get discovered by an IP scanner.

      Mine’s on jellyfin.[domain].com and you get a completely different page if you hit it by IP address.

      If it does get found, there’s also a fail2ban to rate-limit someone brute-forcing a login.

      I’ve always exposed my home IP to the internet. Haven’t had an issue in the last 15 years. I’m running about 10 public-facing services including NTP and SMTP.
