Exactly, I am not going to troubleshoot VPNs with my mother in law when they have an issue.
that's valid, but would you rather spend $8/year on a domain and spend an hour setting it up, or pay a monthly subscription to a closed source plex server?
Also, there's *arr stack applications for helping non-technical users get set up on your jellyfin server, even helping them get set up with request apps too. JFA-GO is also a jellyfin native option for sending user invites.
Oh, I didn't mean to say I was using Plex there. Jellyfin + domain + reverse proxy is what I do for both Jellyfin and Seerr. I was just saying people who say "wireguard is the only way to go" aren't taking into account all workflows, like sharing with family and having them connect via their TVs.
I also just don't want family and friends on my home network all the time, haha.
Makes sense!
