The update got released over 2 months ago. So sensible admins should not be getting hit by this.

Also I use Jellyfin btw.

I’m having a hard time understanding why you need all of that to just log into your jellyfin when you’re not home! You don’t need wireguard, or VNC or any of that jargon. That is something you chose to do for some reason. I can do it with literally the same way you said it

"install the plex app and i emailed you your login details."

Replace plex with jellyfin. Your mother won’t need to do anything but downloading the app and put in the credentials and the server address which is in your face once you launched the app. Get a domain from cloudflare for $10 a year and set it up on the server. That’s it. No need for wireguard. I did the same thing for my friend who uses my jellyfin. I only sent him username and password and server address. That’s it.

Plex is a bit more abstracted behind their services and auth, jellyfin runs exposed on the public internet in your case, I'm not willing to do that at present.
