Helle there,
TL;DR: I use a reverse proxy on my Asustor NAS, to be able to access Jellyfin in HTTPS. It works perfectly from an external network, but only on a web browser, alas android apps can't connect anymore.
First of all, a big thumb up to all the people working on Jellyfin, it's a real work of art.
I bought an Asustor NAS to replace my old Synology, on which my Plex server was running. I'd been wanting to try out Jellyfin for a long time, so this was the perfect opportunity.
On my NAS, I used the built-in DDNS to secure my connection, which was easily done via Let's Encrypt. Then I configured a reverse proxy on my NAS to secure my Jellyfin server (it's very easy with Asustor, I don't have the skills to configure NGINX or CADDY). Everything worked very well, and I now I can connect to my server in HTTPS without any problem on any web browser outside my local network.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to connect an Android application (and probably iOs too, I haven't been able to check) as soon as I go through my reverse proxy.
I've read here and elsewhere that other people have had the same problem, and that it was linked to the SSL certificate, but I have absolutely no idea how to fix it on my system (other persons use complicated configuration with command lines and such).
If anyone knows what I could do to make this happen, I would be extremely grateful.
