Jellyfin is not hardened and is not considered secure. Because of that, making it openly available to the Internet so you can access it anywhere is unsafe. It is recommended that you use something like Apache, Nginx, or Caddy to sit in between the Internet and Jellyfin. Since those apps ARE hardened and more secure. This setup is called a reverse proxy. Apache/Nginx/Caddy handles incoming requests and relays them to Jellyfin.

Did you check the box to enable remote connections?

Im using dynamic dns so on jellyfin i added my dynamic dns address followed by the port number as follows: https://dynamicdnsaddress:8096. I tried http and without http. Still says could not connect to server.
I’m sure the issue is not related to the dynamic DNS service or the local IP address of my server as I am using both of them for other services that allows me to connect remotely to my server
