So what might I be missing here?

I would check with the firewall on the computer Jellyfin is installed on.
See if the connection is being blocked.

Thanks for the tip, but still no luck... I even completely turned off the firewall on the system hosting the Server and it still doesn't want to provide access from outside of my LAN...
The Router Configuration shows the JellyFin Port is listed and OPEN, and I checked through the PortChecker.com website, and it also shows my public IP and Jellyfin port are OPEN, so seems it must be something else...
I also have the PLEX server running on the same system using a different PORT, and it seems to be working fine, so that leads me to think that it's not a firewall blocking problem...
And I tried not to use HTTPS or any 'advanced' security measures at this point, just until I could at least manage to access the server, then I figured I could add additional security once I knew it was at least working without the additional 'hoops'...
And testing on websites like 'canyouseeme.org' or portchecker.com appear to confirm that my Public IP & JellyFin port are OPEN and not blocked by any firewall. It's just one of these frustrating problems because it SEEMS like everything is properly configured and tested, however any attempts to access from outside my LAN just don't work. lol
Maybe I'll try a fresh install on a different system and see if I have any luck that way.
Oh, and thanks for editing the IP address mentioned in my original post, but I had already just made up a random IP just to use in the question. I didn't actually post my public IP on the forum haha
Thanks anyway guys!
Oh, and just to CONFIRM. All of the guides suggesting to install 'Tailscale' or 'Caddy', are really just for SECURITY purposes right? JellyFin Remote Access SHOULD work just by enabling 'Remote Access' in the server setup, and then using the client to connect using your public IP with the :8096, or whatever Port you've forwarded/opened as the SERVER NAME?
I'm just trying to get it working AT ALL right now. and was planning to add any additional security, and workarounds for my Dynamic IP later... And YES, I'm definitley trying to connect using the my CURRENT Dynamic IP address
