    Unless your user comes and logs in on your network, and only streams when they’re at your house, then you’ve just opened your server to the world.

    Plex has bandwidth controls.

        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.
