Tailscale and IP whitelisting are both viable options

No they’re not. No one is connecting their tv to Tailscale, especially not your parents or grand parents, and ip whitelisting is still dangerous and insecure on networks you don’t control.

Tailscale has native clients for all the major TV OS'. And I'm not whitelisting public networks for my friends' convenience. If they're traveling, they use tailscale with their mobile device or not at all. If you're talking about IP spoofing that's not a realistic vulnerability concern for a home media server.

At least I know the potential attack vectors for my Jellyfin server and can mitigate potential security concerns.

No it doesn't lol. Only the extreme minority of people are using TVs that can even install apps.

At least I know the potential attack vectors for my Jellyfin server and can mitigate potential security concerns.

Yet on plex there aren't any lol. If you're opening your server to the internet, and giving other people access, it's not secure - especially via software like JellyFin where the devs even know and say it's not secure.
