    How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.

        Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.

        Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?

          You shouldn’t be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that’s why.

          Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.

          Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.

          Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.

            Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.

            Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
