    Yes, not everyone. My grandmother would struggle setting up a VPN, for example.

    However, a community member of the selfhosted community is perfectly capable of reading a manual and learning the software.

    That’s how you become tech literate in the first place, and you’re already on that path if you’re commenting/reading here.

      Agreed, was more so referring to others. I apologize if it seemed like I was referring to myself

      I’m already well and truly deep into this, myself. Two Proxmox nodes running the *Arr stack and Jellyfin in LXC containers. Bare metal TrueNAS, with scheduled LTO backups every two weeks. A few other bits and bobs, like some game servers and home automation for family.

      Will need to re-map everything eventually, it’s kind of grown out of hand

        Look at Tailscale (or self-host headscale)

        It’s a bit of learning (like all of these other things) but it’s a very powerful tool.

        I do agree with the general point that Jellyfin shouldn’t require a VPN.
