This is correct. However I'd want to add, that this will break EVERY app-based access of jellyfin which defeats the purpose for a lot of people. Adding auth in front of jellyfin will work and allow you to use the web client only.
You kind of touched on it... I wanted to make it clear.
VPN would be a better more interoperable answer for most cases, you'll still be stuck on devices like WebOS on LG tvs, or roku devices, or others that don't have the ability to install vpn clients.
This is misinformation. It breaks the web app too.
You can't use basic auth with jellyfin at all. Its a bug. Jellyfin closed the bug as won't fix because, it seems, they dont care about security.
Oh, sure enough. Basic auth breaks the login function. I didn't test it myself and didn't think that it wouldn't work for basic auth. I've put other auths in front of it and it works. So It's not completely "misinformation". Just annoying that the easiest most basic form of auth won't work.
What other auths can you put in front of it?
The problem is that they're (ab)using the Auth header, which causes a colission and you can't load many required assets.
I was testing a 2fa based one the other weak and jellyfin was the service I decided to test with. Ultimately didnt like it so I rolled ot back.I'd have to go look it up to get you a name.
