Yes, not everyone. My grandmother would struggle setting up a VPN, for example.

that's a weird take. your grandmother doesn't need to set up a VPN. It's not like this is where they would get stuck, they would have problems much sooner with running their own Jellyfin. that's why you are hosting it for them, and why you go there and set the VPN up yourself.

I was not actually presenting a scenario where my grandmother would use a VPN.

I was pointing out that this community is full of people who are perfectly capable of learning to use a VPN. In response to this comment:

Unfortunately, not everyone is tech-literate enough nowadays to understand how a VPN works, nor do they want to

That's a true statement about 'everyone' i.e. the entire population of the planet... but true about everyone here in this community.
