A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wrong use case, the expected one is friends and family watching stuff on your Jellyfin server from different homes, potentially through mobile, all with dynamic IPs
Perfect use for allowlisting based on dynamic DNS hostnames.
is that a feature in Jellyfin? and since when do all ISP subscribers have names in DNS?
You would set up the allowlist in your firewall. There are plenty of free options for dynamic DNS though not from any ISPs that I’m aware of.
oh, in your firewall. I think I can count the percents on one hand about how much of jellyfin users run a firewall applience besides it
