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've always disliked IT discussions for reasons like this. Everyone who comments seems to think that the mitigations, security considerations, and security compromises (IE, not caring if your images are leaked online) they've made are common knowledge... But, this is a forum advising people on how to configure their home severs for hobbiest use. Best practices should be the mantra, "just raw dog ssh on the internet with your 443/80 port mapping and you're g2g" [sic] shouldn't be an acceptable answer to you. If they'd stated that there are security considerations, but they like to implement them and expose ssh to the net for management purposes I'd have nothing to say, but to just advise people who lack that extra experience, without helping them understand why you're okay doing what you're doing and what you've done to solve for specific issues that the default configuration does not seems unhelpful at best.

Listen.

Don’t expose any port to any service if you don’t need it.

If you do, make sure it’s as secure as you can reasonably make it.

I’m not disagreeing.

My bad. I misread your previous post, specifically around "I agree with the other guy". That being said, anyone with a functional device that can compute any amount of monero hashes is a proven target, granted, not specifically.

It’s good to be paranoid when it comes to IT security (and software development). 👍
