What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

    Yes they are. The idea that they’re not would be a statistical wonder.

    Guess I’m a wonder then. I’ve always thought of myself as pretty wonderful, I’m glad to hear you agree.

    Are you logging into your Authelia login page 2k times a day? If not, I suspect that some (most) of those are malicious lol.

    That’s 2k requests made. None of them were served. Try to keep up.

    Well I am an expert with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity, but I’m not acting like an expert here, I’m acting like somebody with at least a rudimentary understanding of how these things work.

    Then I guess I should get a career in cybersecurity, because I obviously know more than someone with over a decade of supposed experience. If you were worth whatever your company is paying you in wages, you would know that a rule blocking connections from other countries, and also requiring the request for the login page come from one of the services on your domain, will block virtually all malicious attempts to access your services. Such a rule doesn’t work for a public site, but for a selfhosted setup it’s absolutely an easy option to reduce your bandwidth usage and make your setup far more secure.

      Whoa whoa whoa. What malicious attempts?

      You just told me you were the statistical wonder that nobody is bothering attack?

      That’s 2k requests made. None of them were served.

      So those 2k requests were not you then? They were hostile actors attempting to gain unauthorized access to your services?

      Well there we have it folks lmao

        Whoa whoa whoa. What malicious attempts?

        I said it would block all malicious attempts. I didn’t say the people trying to access my services were malicious. Clearly the OP is worried about that. I however, having just the meager experience of, you know, actually fucking running the a Jellyfin server, am not. But I’m also not trying convince people I’m a smug cybersecurity expert with a decade of experience.

          As OP should be. 2k attempts a day at unauthorized access to your services is a pretty clear indicator of that. Seems you’ve mitigated it well enough, why would you suggest that OP not bother doing the same? If you’re so convinced those 2k attempts are not malicious, then go ahead and remove those rules if they’re unnecessary.

          Perhaps as someone with only meager experience running a Jellyfin server who can’t even recognize malicious traffic to their server, and zero understanding of the modern internet threat landscape, you shouldn’t be spreading misinformation that’s potentially damaging to new selfhosters?

            If you were any good at reading, you would know that I said those rules protect the Authelia login page. They don’t protect the Jellyfin service or its login page at all. The Jellyfin instance is not behind anything except Cloudflare. I stated that in my very first message. Removing those rules would have no effect whatsoever on Jellyfin.

              It’s over man. You’ve made it very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about, how any of this works, or even what’s going on with your own selfhosted services. Back peddling away from your own arguments and trying to sweep up the beans you’ve already spilled isn’t going to help your case.

              Maybe stick to your day job, I just don’t think that cybersecurity career is in the cards for you.

                Yeah, some random nobody trying to convince people they’re a cybersecurity expert is gonna be what shuts me up.

                I very clearly laid out my setup, and how you were wrong. If you can’t even read well enough to understand that, let alone form som kind of actual argument backed up by reality, that isn’t my problem to deal with.

                I would say stick to your own day job, but if this is actually your day job then maybe check out whether your local Burger King has openings, you’ll do less harm there.

                  You’ve argued from a position of weakness against a well known and accepted truth, and have provided zero proof to back up your outlandish claim. On the contrary you’ve admitted to the existence of unwanted access attempts to your services, as well as your usage of mitigations to the same problem you insist doesn’t exist.

                  It’s over man. You’re certified expert yapper but that’s not going to convince me or anyone else here that you know what you’re talking about. It’s a wrap.

                    Is this Reddit? When were we supposed to be seeking the validation of random strangers on the net, especially ones who brag about their bona fides like it’s a CoD lobby? You keep saying it’s over, but for some reason you keep coming back here to try to get the last word. If I’m in a position of weakness, why is it you’re the one trying so hard? You’re in a dick measuring contest against yourself. I’m getting second-hand embarrassment.
