I've had a development. Jellyfin media player just decided to start working. I did move buildings, but I'm still on the same network (campus student wifi). Media player did not work on housing internet, which we outsource to another company.
As for Localtonet, it allows me to remotely connect to my server without port forwarding on the internet router. As I don't have access to do that on campus, it's now I remote connect in. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but it's pretty nifty.
There's other services that are similar, like playit, ngrok, cloudflare, and more. There's a github page with several dozen tunnel services listed, if you're interested.
