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 kept the main domain open, but redirected it to a rickroll

Nice, but the bots may not understand the joke.

And not only that but they will tag the domain with ”there is something here”, and maybe some day someone will take a closer look and see if you are all up-to-date or would there maybe be a way in. So better to just drop everything and maybe also ban the IP if they happen to try poke some commonly scanned things (like /wp-admin, /git, port 22 etc.) GoAccess is a pretty nice tool to show you what they are after.

Yeah that's a good point. The joke is mostly for my own enjoyment or any random user who happens to forget the jellyfin. subdomain.

I have had a few hits to /wp-admin, but cloudflare actually blocks those for me (I don't use a tunnel but I do use them for the domain name which helps a bit). I might just shut down the main page then.
