What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.
I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

For the users you have using Onn TVs, is Tailscale just installed on a device on the network or on the Onn TVs?
The onn boxes run android so it's just installed as an app from play store. The users connect with their own tailscale account. My server is shared so they see it. Then they install jellyfin on the device, punch in the hostname of the server given by tailscale and the port and then it connects.
I could not get my reverse proxy to let them use my local domain.. I'm not smart enough and couldn't figure it out but they are only using jellyfin so typing one address was fine.
Thank you for following up.
