    My issue is that I can't access at all my network router settings since my ISP doesn't allow that. I live in a condo, with the usual ISP monopoly, and they don't allow any access to the router settings, which is a requirement from all the guides I've seen to set up remote access to my Jellyfin server. 

    I have it running using Docker in a Synology NAS. Please help me with a workaround that allows for me to use Jellyfin remotely while maintaining security.

    Same here (ISP locked router issue)
    Its rather the normal situation, in Europe at least.

    A solution is to purchase your own router that will handle the DSL connection instead of the one provided by your ISP.
    Then you can config anything you need.
    That's what most people having a homelab do

    You can also build your own router running pfSense or OPNsense (what I did)

    Buying your own router is possibly not an available solution depending on the ISP.

    One solution is to use a VPN service that gives you a static exit node IP. That exit node IP is what you would use to access Jellyfin remotely.

    Another solution is to rent a VPS and set that up as a wireguard server and the jellyfin server at your home as a wireguard client that connects to the VPS wireguard server.

    The VPS would run a reverse proxy to forward traffic to your jellyfin server's wireguard IP. You would use the VPS's IP to access Jellyfin remotely.
