Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together
Spuddlesv2@lemmy.ca 6 days agoThis should not be downvoted. You should not expose anything straight to the internet unless you know what you’re doing. Use a simple service like Tailscale to create a locally accessible VPN.

“Know what you’re doing”
And
“Forwarded a port to jellyfin”
Surely has some overlap. You want to open other ports, you want to make sure permissions are properly set on the host machine… What else? HTTPS/SSL to avoid someone in the middle grabbing your password and accessing your media?
Regardless, I’ll look into tailscale. A VPN would have lots of other uses, as there are other applications I would like to use remotely that I don’t want to expose to the internet.

By “know what you’re doing” I mean “understand the consequences”. Anyone can follow a guide that tells them how to open a port on their router. Understanding that in doing so they’re potentially allowing every malicious actor into their home network is not so straightforward.
