Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet

  Wrong use case, the expected one is friends and family watching stuff on your Jellyfin server from different homes, potentially through mobile, all with dynamic IPs

    Perfect use for allowlisting based on dynamic DNS hostnames.

      is that a feature in Jellyfin? and since when do all ISP subscribers have names in DNS?

        You would set up the allowlist in your firewall. There are plenty of free options for dynamic DNS though not from any ISPs that I’m aware of.

  Does your friend have a static IP? Unlikely considering that you have to pay extra for a static IP.

    We are lucky, we get two free. Technically they aren’t true static, its tied to MAC of your modem, or your router(s) – with ISP modem in bridge mode. You can pay for true static, but I have probably had the same IP for 5 years, and same with the modem/routerbeforre this one.

    @Emmie @Scary_le_Poo That depends on the ISP, there's still some out there that will give you one for free.
