Access Jellyfin from anywhere || Port Forwarding

In the last video I had shown you how you can build your own media server using a open source software called Jellyfin.
In this video, I will be showing you how you can turn on remote access and stream your contents from anywhere in the world.

well, this works but is against all comon sense... DO NOT OPEN PORTS, use tailscale or wireguard or something else instead.. if u really want to open ports use a reverse proxy with SSL, cant believe this video have so many views

[simonmaersk]

No, you definitely need to set up HTTPS if the server is going to be publicly available. I don't understand why you think it's not that important.

Wow, this guy advice is worth exactly what you paid for.

[Janemayank]

I'm new to this. This port checker helped me. Very impressive content. Thank you so much. Our community is small, but with people like you, it is lively and positive to learn and grow.

Thanks mate. At least I can watch Movies and Show on my Ubuntu Server. Now I need a VPN for more secure connection and give access to a few relatives and friends.

[Casinoslotguy]

Search for days for a straight forward guide on how to make this work. Outstanding and thank you for the video.

Following these exact directions and i still got a closed port with port checker. Is it because my IP address on my laptop is dynamic? Does it need to have a static ip address?

[ntfury]

No mention of security risks here? Probably not the best idea to just open a port to the internet without some sort of security protocol.

[KamrulHasan]

Brother how do you use Remote Desktop from Mac Menu Bar?

[ICE]

Worked! Thanks! im a little skeptical about the security of this from the comments but i hope il be fine but it did work though.

[Thesavagesouls]

Thanks to you I discovered I wasn't using the good ip adress when logging to the server. Got the good one from the checking port website. 👌

[KramSkordie]

excuse isr if you are on the same network with the neighbor you have also a router with you you have an internet connection also, does jellyfin uses internet bandwidth while your using it?

[DogeGamer]

Thanks man. I was trying all ways but finnally i have a solution :D

I'd advise against port 9000 as its a default port for most portainer tutorials and portainer is a very valuable application for people expanding their home labs and media servers. I'm a big fan of changing default ports for media servers because it's just so easy for botnets to scour the globe looking for a billion noobs with open 32400 or 8096 ports, but you should change it to something that isn't already used by burgeoning software

I'm not even sure why but it worked on linux but to windows couldn't connect from my TV. Changing the port to 9000 worked. Although I guess it could create be another issue later. So far worked, thanks.

[aggregatecrab]

Thank you so much! I couldn't connect no matter what i did. Port forwarding was such an obvious solution, I am so mad at myself. Thank you again i probably would have tried self ssl cert signing before this if not for you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[dragonclaw]

PLEASE can you come up with a way for me to share my jellyfin app if i dont have access to my router?? using something like zerotier or some other app that will make it actually work

[AlphaDeFcOn]

I open ports on my Tenda router but still closed ! I can't acess outside my local network... Some crap about CGNAT... How to fix that ?

[sajeduli]

I'm just install jellyfin on my desktop (Windows).
I want to play movie on my Tv/Mobile Stay on local network. I can't connect with server from any different devices.

[aidanmullen]

I have done all of this, and confirmed that my outward facing IP port is open. I am using the newer Xfinity XB8 in bridge mode and the UniFi USG as my router. Have triple checked all settings and can not get Jellyfin to work outside my network. The setup is so simple, I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. All of the UniFi videos available either just touch on basic port forwarding, or do their best to confuse only the most tech savvy. I am pretty tech-smart, so I'm frustrated beyond compare. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
