I have a Jellyfin instance on my local server which I forward to the public web via a cloudflare tunnel. I’m not sure how secure it is, and I keep getting random requests from all over the world. It’s my first experience maintaining something on a public domain so I may be worrying about something obvious, but some advice would still be appreciated.

My SSL/TLS encryption mode appears to be “Full”.

    I‘d only access my jellyfin through a VPN like WireGuard. As a plus, you can route your DNS calls to your DNS server in your home network (like AdGuard) and have always most ads blocked in any app even on iOS.

      If I didn’t use wireless android auto I would totally use a VPN at all times but the fact AA refuses to connect with wireless AA with a VPN sucks.

          Yeah I am using unifi I might have to switch my client if I can figure out how to connect to my existing wire guard setup that I have on my dream machine.

        😳what?? Why would AA not work with VPN?! What a deal break, lol, I guess I’ll keep my iPhone X in the car for CarPlay after switching to a new (maybe not apple) phone in that case

          Wired works but because wireless AA needs to use WiFi the VPN blocks the communication. It only works with VPN providers that allow split tunnels which the one I use does not. I use unifi one click VPN which is subscription free.

            Ah, I see, I guess WireGuard would be able to handle this, in that case, since you can choose which IPs go through the tunnel and which not. But honestly, I always plug my phone into the car by cable.
