    Honestly it’s news to me but having read through those most of them are not an issue.

    setup a VPN. Pray you don’t have a user on a device that doesn’t have a VPN app that you can work with.

    Dafuck kind of a nitpick is this? In what world does OpenVPN not have an application for every device and OS combo out there fully supported? You tryna watch it on a VCR or smth?

      LG tvs and rokus I know for a fact don’t have vpn apps available. And I’m sure there are plenty more.

        Neither do Samsung, the jellyfin app works great on Samsung after the annoying process of installing it, but can’t put a VPN on it that I’m aware of.

      Products like Netbird and Tailscale have the ability to act as an ingress node on the network.

      Alternatively you could setup Wireguard and a simple http proxy like Caddy. Just give your relatives a box to plug into Ethernet. You could even use it as a backup target.
