You just can’t securely watch anything from your jellyfin server remotely, or let others stream from your server.

The 20+ people who stream from my Plex server have never paid a cent because I have a Plex lifetime pass. In terms of value it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Try get your grandparents to stream your jellyfin server on their TV. Try explaining tailscale or a vpn to them.

Don't have to. My parents (who are grandparents) use my Jellyfin server just fine.
