Access Jellyfin and Nextcloud remotely? (feddit.nl)

Running a TrueNAS Scale server with Jellyfin and planning to add Nextcloud. How would I be able to access these services from outside my network? I have heard portforwarding is unsafe and a VPN seems inconvenient to me.

I've heard that steaming video is against ToS for tunnels, but I've not been able to confirm this.

But man, cloudflare tunnels are so cool. They are game changer if your behind a cgNAT or can't port forward for some reason. And they are even useful if you can port forward. Cloudflare cacheing and ddos protection, and your IP is not exposed.

Beautiful.

I don't think it is explicitly against the ToS any longer, although it used to be from what I can gather. There is no longer a section 2.8 here but it does state in section 2.7:

You agree not to...(b) post, transmit, store or link to any files, materials, data, text, audio, video, images or other content that infringe on any person’s intellectual property rights or that are otherwise unlawful

So as long as you either only host original content or your media server requires login and is not open to the public then I don't think you'd have any issues.

I actually use a Cloudflare Tunnel in this way to serve a Jellyfin docker container and have not had any issues. I also disabled Cloudflare caching though for the subdomain that Jellyfin is served from, in order to be sure Cloudflare wasn't caching that media either.

Well hosting a web server is against my isp's terms of service so I'm playing dangerous either way lol. But I only use it for my nextcloud, I plan on either switching to FiOS or upgrading to business internet with my current provider so I can get rid of the cgnat.

That is a fair point lol 😂

Yeah, cgNAT is such a drag man.

It's bad even for non tech people. They will be wondering why they cant connect to voice chat in their game system, or why they can't connect to their VPN for work.

We need to rip the band-aid off and embrace ipv6.

I'll be honest with you, aside from the fact I can't get a static IP or forward ports I've naver really had any issues with it. I use discord for voice chat and don't play on consoles though.
