Thank you! I saw tutorials on doing this a lot of times and this one has been the only one that has worked as far!

[pringls]

Perfect video, by far the best I have found! I'm having a lot of fun with my homelab thanks to great teachers like you. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[vxlcd]

Dude, you just absolutely broke me out of my confusion over this entire process. THANK YOU!!!

[abetechtips]

I tried watching a few videos but this one by far is the most straight forward and well explained. Thank you for your well made videos!

I have to add to the grateful choir. Took me weeks of messing around with TrueNAS, Jellyfin, Nginx, Traefik, my router, Cloudflare... going in circles trying to set it up. Seems like everyone has a different way of going about proxy servers. After watching your video I FINALLY managed to securely open up a single port to the Internet for me to access Jellyfin remotely. Only thing I had to work out was doing the Portainer install but that was quite straightforward.

THANK YOU for this detailed how-to!

Thank you for the thorough explanation & step by step. Even 2 years later, this video is still helping others (like myself!). Appreciate the tutorial!

DUDE. I have been going 'round and 'round with this. I've watched about half a dozen videos, studied at least the same number of articles, and this is the first time I've got it working. And it was so easy. I was WAY over complicating this. At least I know a lot more about than I'd ever thought I'd know.
Thanks for allowing me to get back to having fun in the homelab again. Keep up the good work!!

[kyledickinson]

This is, by far, the best tutorial I've seen on the topic. Thank you!

Bro had me from the jump. "You finally finished your website after countless months of Red Bull" A few moments later..."Hello, World." 🤣😂😂😂

[dawnSker]

I had watched a lot of videos on this subject, but this is the one that cleared up things for me. Thank you for this.. Just awesome!!!

[thomaswhipple]

You are… the wind beneath my wings! Thank you so much for this video. Been trying to figure this out for a while now and you made it all make sense.

[msoltanftw]

I seriously felt that cut to screaming into the pillow. That was my experience trying to get this all set up before I found your video, it helped a ton!

[sixtymining]

I watched a bunch of videos on how to this and your video was the most thorough and simplest to follow. Thanks!

[malachiHburton]

Been through multiple videos on how to get this setup, with no success until this tutorial. Great tutorial, thanks for helping me to get this working!

[MikeCabralcapsyweb]

thank you, ive been trying to set my server for about a week, tried other tutorials, with this one i was able to do what i wanted. thumbs up!!!!

[stigofdump]

I have been struggling with this for days and finally I have been able to get it sorted. thank you soo much for your content

[MuratDemir]

First of all, thank you for the video. You have put together a topic that I have been researching for a while, , very well. I think a top of this can be done using Cloudflare Tunnel. Thus, it becomes appealing to those using CGNAT or Dynamic IP addresses. Thanks again, have a nice day ^_^

[sanderdevries]

Thanks for explaining this in detail! My server has been running Nginx Proxy Manager for 3 ish years but recently it stopped working and I was struggling with the reinstallation process. This helped me re-do my SSL setup!

[willpowell]

Incredibly well explained. So efficient and easy. Thank you!!

[naimroslann]

Great video! You covered pretty much everything. From port forwarding to SSL. Thank you!
