Configure Proxy - mtoss - 2025-02-28
Maybe its a silly question but the Jellyfin documentation does not explicitly tells if the "Known Proxy" setting is for "external | source IP" or is it for "internal | destination IP". Can someone clears this up for me?

Known proxies would refer to some other device acting as a relay for traffic to your Jellyfin server. This would usually be the host or container running Nginx, Apache, Caddy, or some other reverse proxy on a different host from Jellyfin.
Known proxies does NOT refer to clients or the server itself. Only the middle man, if one exists.

That is not answering my question. Reverse Proxy has 2 IP addresses. Public ( or external sometimes called source IP ) and internal or destination IP. My question is which of the two should I enter in the field?
I use Synology Reverse Proxy and for this example is has Source and Destination IP.
My source IP is Public and exposed to internet with DDNS, cert and all. Then, I have reverse proxy Destination IP pointing to my internal local network - 172.x.x.x.
I have 2 choices:
1. Enter my public DNS hostname or
2. Enter internal IP address

Internal.

FYI and for anyone using Jellyfin in a Docker container on Synology, my advise after testing - leave that field set to blank. Synology Reverse-Proxy does all the work.
