sure! my ISP uses CGNAT so i couldn't utilise the "ip address:8096" method of sharing so i had to hop onto tailscale.
as i didn't want to have to install tailscale on my other devices, i had to enable tailscale's funnel function to reach the server using the DNS provided. it's possible to rename everything so it's up to the individual. i renamed mine and set up the funnel by running it through command prompt (i'm on windows) and i also had to change my jellyfin port as the tailscale funnel only listens on 3 ports. there are a few configurations to set up the funnel like running it in the background or foreground - i've linked the support guide i found to be helpful below. but now i am able to remotely reach my server by typing "my device name.my tailnet"
