We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.11.7! This minor release brings several bugfixes to improve your Jellyfin experience. As alway...
you are better just closing up shop then, because it’s not like the other services you are hosting are much better. vulnerabilities being discovered don’t mean they don’t exist, it just means the software is not popular enough or too complex for someone to look into it
much of the internet is run on simpler software or by full time employees tasked to deal with all this. but sure, ignorance is bliss, what you don’t see does not exist, etc etc, keep running your Jellyfin exposed to the internet. you wouldnt even get to know when your system is compromised. but you know what? you could even remove your password for extra convenience. who would want to log in to a random jellyfin account anyway! surely no one! just don’t recommend these practices to anyone, because you are putting them at risk.
wow not just totally unprofessional, but even downvoting the calling out the lack of credible security! you can be ashamed of yourself, and hope that your clients never find out you are a contrarian
I really doubt your work has anything to do with computers
Which doesn’t work for The grand majority of devices that would be used to watch said media.
Tvs game consoles rokus so on so forth typically don’t support VPN clients.
The Jonathan clients for these devices also typically don’t support alternative authentication methods which would allow you to put jellyfin behind a proxy and have the proxy exposed to the internet. Gating all access to jellyfin apis behind a primary authentication layer thus mitigating effectively all security vulnerabilities that are currently open.
Tvs game consoles rokus so on so forth typically don’t support VPN clients.
and that’s why you set up a VPN client box on the location, set it up as a regular VPN client, and install a reverse proxy on it that the dumb clients can connect to.
the VPN box could be as simple as an old android phone no one uses, and termux

This attitude is why Plex remains popular.
Easy for me but not my aunts, cousins or father in law to setup and use.
Nor will the VPN work on things like their TV or Roku or game console. You know the things that people typically sit down and watch media on…
Wireguard and possibly openvpn work on Android TVs. I set it up for my mom. Not sure about other OSs.

they are not setting up the Jellyfin server either, why would they need to bother with the VPN?
They’re connecting to it.
yeah, it’s the operator’s job to help setting that up
I’d rather just not use it at that point

The difference is that my friends get a lot of value out of my server, as they don’t need to use any technology they’re unfamiliar with.

lol the whole internet better shut down right? Too vulnerable

Thank god
