Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

Didn’t down vote, and I get what you’re saying to a certain extent. I’m not touting my server as hack-proof in the least, but it would take some work. My concern wouldn’t be someone hacking in and listening to my personal music collection I’ve been working on for decades…it goes all the way back to 1937.
I would be more concerned that my compromised server was used as a zombie attack on some other server. The first VPS server got ransacked and used over-nite to (unsuccessfully) DDoS another business site.I got a ton of nasty grams for that boner. I didn’t loose anything but time.
Bitcoin miners are easy to spot. I’ve never really understood why someone would hack into a small server and deploy a nefarious miner. On a huge corporate server farm, sure. But not some small selfhost VPS somebody found on lowendbox.
Because they’re not mining on just one, they’re mining on thousands.
I understand economy of scale, but how much could you actually mine over nite on a little droplet before junior sysadmin notices that there is an influx of nasty grams in his in box and his little 4 banger VPS is maxed out on resources.
Long enough to make it worth it. Most people aren’t paying that much attention.
