just to be clear i'm a complete beginner only in the learning process atm as to how Jellyfin (as well as Arr apps) works.
so a bit more context to my main question:
I dont intent to access/stream my Jellyfin outside of my LAN and only use it at home cause I don't want to deal with all the network security processes that I have to do just to make it work. I'm not really a tech savy, esp when it comes to networking security. I know little to NOTHING about it.
so,
1. I wanted to be able to access my Jellyfin(medias are in my main PC connected via ethernet) on my Smart TV (connected via Wifi) but wondering if wirelessly accessing them locally(via wifi) counts as LOCAL (LAN) or Remote access?
i'm trying to figure this out if I need to set up some sort of VPN(like Tailscale) to securely access my Jellyfin within my (local) wirelessly connected device/s.
2. if there's still some sort of vulnerabilities outside of my LAN even when using Jellyfin locally, what security measures should I do and what vulnerabilities should I worry about?
and please try to ELI5 answer if its too technical. i'm not that brilliant lol
thanks.
