I use Jellyfin on my internal network without issue.
I used https://www.whatismyip.com/ to find my external IP.
When I was away from home, I opened the Jellyfin app, tapped 'Use a different server' and entered the IP (found by running www.whatismyip.com on the server), followed by :8096 but it showed:
"Tried 2 candidates for input, without success. Unable to reach server."
Emby allowed me to do this. In fact, the app dashboard itself gave me the IP address to use. I think Plex offers this, too.
Is remote access possible with Jellyfin without using dodgy VPNs etc?
