Tailscale
I will not make myself the tech guy for half my friends and family, just because I can't share Jellyfin safely without a vpn
That's fair but tailscale isn't a traditional vpn, it makes direct connections between two devices. it was also designed to be extremely easy to setup and it's free for up to 100 devices.
Again it's fair if you don't want to mess with it
