Forget the Auth, use VPN profiles as access controls. Give them to trusted folks and you’re gold.

Yeah don’t use a cloudflare tunnel for that, it’ll get you banned.

Huh? I used jellyfin just fine in the hospital on public WiFi on my ancient busted iPad air [some number].

The only thing I did was install pivpn and upload my VPN profile file to Google drive so I can remote into my network. I legit never even had to set anything up it just worked, didn’t even need to know the IP of the server because my locally run DNS server (and failing that, the basic hostname based DNSMasq in the router) took care of everything.

I don’t even have any reverse proxy or firewall because I still pretend to value my sanity and my time, nor did I expose it to the internet either, thanks to almighty NAT.

Didn’t have to do any caching or anything crazy like that, no idea what you’re talking about, but I think there’s an option to download the files right through jellyfin.

I watched star trek TAS while having fun with opioids and it was a great time.

Why would you ever bother to use either option when you can just access it via the WebUI on Firefox?
