    I think you’re missing the point - that’s neither simple nor easy for most people. I’m a network engineer and I don’t wanna deal with setting up and (being responsible for troubleshooting) a bunch of VPNs! Nevermind the additional power/CPU usage from the tunnels. My parents just got fiber and they don’t even have a public address (ipv4 or v6) which just adds another layer of headache. thanks west virginia…

      If you have the skills to setup a Jellyfin server you also have the skills to setup wireguard.

      My parents just got fiber and they don’t even have a public address (ipv4 or v6) which just adds another layer of headache. thanks west virginia…

      That’s a very specific use case.

      I’d much rather deal with setting up a few VPN gateways which is trivial at most…than securing a public web service. I deal with that crap enough at work.

      There are a lot less variables to contend with with a single VPN endpoint which undergoes considerably more security auditing than N public web services. Many of which I don’t have the time to review myself and mitigate if they decide to suck at coding.

      Edit: I share my services with less than 5 households though.

      Edit2: I’m not sure what public ipv4 or ipv6 has to do with this. My remote sites use starlink ipv4. I haven’t setup ipv6 on those internally at all. They all tunnel via wireguard to my homesite.

        When I set up wireguard it was just more complicated when one side didn’t have a public IP. Whyyyy can’t we adopt ipv6 already.

          At my remote site it has little value. At my home I have IPv6 setup on Starlink as my secondary backup internet. I use Fiber as the primary that has a public IPv4 and IPv6.

          Could just use a VPS though I guess if you want.
