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
OpenVPN into my own LAN. Stream from there to my device.

I use mTLS by adding a reverse proxy between Jellyfin and the Inet. This makes it hard to use the app, but works perfect with a browser. If you still want to use the app. There is a solution by using stunnel (termux) between te app and the Inet or better, a wireguard VPN.
