Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

How much bandwidth is used via the VPS in this instance? I've seen most VPS in the USA have a limit of 1TB of bandwidth.

How many users are you sharing with?

I know Hetzner does 20TB bandwidth, but that is only EU servers as far as I know.

I have a very cheap ($11/yr) us-based vps through racknerd I got via low end box. I've got 12 users but only 5 really active ones and I've never come close to hitting the 1tb transfer. I serve several services through that one vps (all just reverse proxy to my homelab).

I did just pick up another u.s. based vps through low end box the other day- $12/yr and unmetered Gbps. 1 CPU only, but a reverse proxy doesn't need a lot of compute. :)

Thank you! I haven't heard of racknerd/low end box, I'll have to check them out. Yeah I'm not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.

I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I'm a bit worried for my end

And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.

Thank you!
