Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT (lemm.ee)

I have several services on my home server, most of which I access using Tailscale, and it works great. I had a couple services on Cloudflare tunnels in order to access them from devices that I can't put Tailscale on.

Plex is going to start charging for remote access. So I figured now would be the time to migrate to Jellyfin. But using Jellyfin on Cloudflare tunnels is against their TOS. I have a Roku TV at a remote location that I use to watch Plex. I won't be able to do that anymore. And I can't put Tailscale on it to serve Jellyfin that way.

I was going to set up Nginx Proxy Manager to use my domain name for Jellyfin so I didn't have to use Cloudflare tunnels. But in setting that up I found out that my ISP is double NATting me, and I haven't been able to find a way around it.

So I'm left with two options: 1) buy Plex Pass so I can continue to stream remotely; or 2) get a VPS, run Tailscale and NPM on it and switch to Jellyfin.

I'm looking for a sanity check to make sure the VPS thing would work the way I think it would. If it's running Tailscale then the double NAT would be a non-issue, correct? Is there another option that I haven't thought of yet? Which of the two options would you choose?

EDIT, just in case anyone comes across this later, I suppose: I ended up going with a Tailscale funnel and it's working beautifully so far. Setting it up gave me a little bit of trouble but it took nowhere near the amount of time to get working properly that any of the other solutions would have.

Thanks for mentioning that. I'll have to look into it. If I could install Tailscale on a RokuTV I'd absolutely run it that way.

I haven't seen no one mention it yet but you could simply buy a Rasp Pi and use it as a subnet router for your Tailnet.

It's how I set up a family members Jellyfin/NAS/etc which I can access all their devices by local IP address, and you could do for your Roku too?

No worries. Better than reading that someone got hacked because they left Jellyfin wide open

You could even run a travel router, mini PC or Raspberry Pi, run the VPN on it, connect the Roku to it over the onboard WiFi adapter. On the PC/Pi you'd force all the traffic from the Roku towards Jellyfin over the tunnel. You could even define the Jellyfin in DNS (/etc/hosts) so the internet will never even know you're running Jellyfin. Something like https://raspap.com/ or even a openwrt travel router from the likes of GL.iNet would work.
