You expose nothing but the VPN endpoint to the public network and assume the VPN's security mechanism is good enough (it usually is if you use modern variants).
Would any free VPN work, I'm hoping to get a free experience since I'll be sharing this with close friends and family. And would there be any recommendations you have, I was considering just proton VPN. What does "AFAIK" mean?
If I have the server setup (with a reverse proxy), and I go to a device (roku or Android phone/tablet) on the same network without a VPN, am I at risk from ISP or any sort of danger?
Are there any more free safety measures I can take to ensure safety on the server, kind of like the reverse proxy?
I already have Caddy and Duckdns to create the reverse proxy. They should be working already since I'm able to access my Jellyfin server through the ducks URL I created. But the server is still accessible through the usual IP address, did I set up Duckdns and Caddy correctly?
