Probably, I dunno. Technical idiot, remember? From a real life perspective, what are the consequences of unencrypted video files being shared to a Roku?
If it’s only on your local home network, it’s not a problem at all. When you say ‘phone home’, it makes me think maybe you’re accessing it remotely over the internet, in which case it would be very easy for your ISP or anyone who is curious to see what files are being shared.
Real life consequences range from your ISP saying stoppit to reporting agencies flagging you as a distributor of illegal content and reporting you to the FBI.
Of course, this is me assuming the files you’re hosting are copyrighted movies and things of that nature, and that you sweat the FBI at all. I dunno what country you live in.
Instead of using tail scale I set up Synology DDNS and a security certificate from Let’s Encrypt. (I went back and looked at the tutorial I followed and that was one of the steps.) I’m pretty sure when I log in remotely it’s via https. Does that also encrypt against the type of shoulder overlooking you’re talking about?
You gotta understand, I’m not even at the beginning of the Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias spread. I do use a VPN when I’m browsing, but that’s on a different machine from the Synology and not really relevant to what you were saying
Wouldn’t this result in all your traffic being unencrypted?

Oh in that case I’m sure you’re fine. Yeah your Let’s Encrypt setup is handling your https certs so as long as you’re seeing https you should be good.
