Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network for free? (anarchist.nexus)

I have docker installed, but only have a vague idea of how it works.

Back in the day, I would just port forward, but even then, I would need a static IP somehow.

I have heard a reverse proxy is an option, but that is an entirely new topic to me.

Surely there is an easy way to access Jellyfin outside of my home network that I'm just missing.

*Edit: I am blown away by all the help and support! I currently have tailscale running, and I'm in the process of purchasing a domain.

Thanks everyone!

Not 100% sure what you mean, but if you're suggesting making it accessible publicly only through tor, that's a bad idea (not to mention the people running tor don't recommend streaming video through it).

Tor is extremely secure. Onion Services let you auth clients with a certificate. See also how Onion Share works.

Also I don't think Tor etiquette says not to stream video. It says not to torrent.

Hm I could be wrong on the streaming videos etiquette, I can't remember nor can I find where I originally heard that from.

Still think it's a bad idea though. As another reason: Won't you have an awfully slow connection to your server (tor is already slow just to access a plain html website)?

Nah, Tor works great. But I only stream in 1080

Streaming videos puts a huge burden on the TOR network. Please don't do it if you don't need to, setting up a VPN is faster and doesn't slow TOR down.

Link?

Here, a random link explaining why using bandwidth for no reason while people provide it to you for free might be ethically questionable

https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/21067/tor-streaming-videos-is-it-ethical

Should I explain it further?

I was looking for something from torproject.org. an official source.
