Hey everyone. Spent days trying to access my jellyfin outside my LAN and have roadblocks outside of my control:
- My ISP is PPPOE -- not much of a choice in the matter.
- My ISP blocks all ports, even 80 - can't even use ddns.
- I never ever want my PC to talk to the internet if it's not using a VPN! No bypass, no leaks, only VPN!
- You could in theory use Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/kb/1105/other-vpns) with Jellyfin - but it requires split tunneling with my VPN which I can't & don't really want to do.
From my place of ignorance, I'm thinking: if my VPN provider (e.g. nordvpn, wireshark, pia) already gives me an IP and an open Port, and I can use these for online multiplayer games, also Parsec,
then why can't Jellyfin also use this IP and port?
I tried powershell:
I put this vpn port in either my Jellyfin Public HTTP port, or Public HTTPS port, and when I try to connect to this ip:port, Jellyfin Media Player says Connection Failure.
Why would this be? It would also solve all the problems of how it's notoriously either hard or insecure to enable remote access on Jellyfin.
