Hello!

I have Jellyfin running locally on my linux pc, in a docker container but I also use Mullvad vpn. I'm still newish to linux but I can access jellyfin through my lan. I am at a total loss with how to remotely access it remotely and securely. I think I need to split tunnel jellyfin but I also run arr apps in other containers. Maybe gluetun? I cant find a guide that tells me for sure but it sounds like what I may need

I have been through several guides for different methods but I'm at a loss on what to do.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Easiest? Tailscale., set it up on the server and each client you want to access it and it creates auto-resolving P2P VPN tunnels between them all.

Wholeheartedly support Tailscale or similar solutions. Reverse-proxy or VPN are just too complicated (for me, at least).

I also use Tailscale and even bought mullvad access through them. Definitely the easiest and most valuable subscription I have.
