Hi folks. So, I know due to a myriad of reasons I should not allow Jellyfin access to the open internet. However, in trying to switch family over from Plex, I’ll need something that “just works”.

How are people solving this problem? I’ve thought about a few solutions, like whitelisting ips (which can change of course), or setting up VPN or tail scale (but then that is more work than they will be willing to do on their side). I can even add some level of auth into my reverse proxy, but that would break Jellyfin clients.

Wondering what others have thought about for this problem

    Think of it as more modular.

    I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

    Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

    Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

    The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.
