What country are you in ?
Why do you think you need tailscale ?
Australia
I read it was the best way to use it and was advised on another forum.
It's just me and one other person using it. Both remotely and both with chromecast.
I could probably work out the reverse proxy thing. AI google searches are pretty good with instructions.
If it's just you and another person using it then you don't need it. I'm in the UK and use Jellyfin on my Synology NAS, Fire TV and my iPhone (via Swiftfin) and I've never used it.
I've got the port open on my NAS as well and I've never had any problems after 12+ years of use, which includes using Jellyfin, Plex and Emby for varying degrees of time as well.
Obviously this doesn't go down well with the "I'm merely seconds away from getting hacked" crowd but I don't care.
I don't know what NAS you have but if it's a Synology then you only need some basic security precautions to be perfectly fine.
