    I use Jellyfin. I just give them the IP and they click their name, then I whitelist them.

      “I don’t know. I’m not clicking a number thing.” - My normie family and friends. I have an address that literally my name. Like literally my legal name. And they’re skeptical of it.

      Once while trying to troubleshoot something we wanted one person to install WireGuard. In his words “I’m not installing some random software I’ve never heard of just to fix this”.

      Sometimes it’s worth remembering that the simple act of being here on Lemmy means we’re probably the most tech literate people we know and if you’re lucky enough to have a tech literate bubble around you as well then a simple invite to Jellyfin really is simple. But my group of friends are… less techy…

        Give them the new one. It doesn’t happen very often. 3 months since the last time.

        As for if their’s changes, they just let me know if they can’t get in and I investigate and it’s because I need to whitelist a new IP.

        That doesn’t happen very often either, but I only have 2 people outside my house who use it.
