What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

    No, they are actively trying to get in right now. If you have Authelia exposed they’re brute forcing it. They’re actively trying to exploit vulnerabilities that exist in whatever outwardly accessible software you’re exposing is, and in many cases also in software you’re not even using in scattershot fashion. Cloudflare is blocking a lot of the well known CVEs for sure, so you won’t see those hit your server logs. If you look at your Authelia logs you’ll see the login attempts though. If you connect via SSH you’ll see those in your server logs.

    You’re mitigating it, sure. But they are absolutely 100% trying to get into your server right now, same as everyone else. There is no consideration to whether you are a self hosted or a Fortune 500 company.

      No, they aren’t. Just to be sure, I just checked it, and out of the over 2k requests made to the Authelia login page in the last 24 hours, none have made it to the login page itself. You don’t know jack shit about what’s going on in another persons network, so I’m not sure why you’re acting like some kind of expert.

        Yes they are. The idea that they’re not would be a statistical wonder.

        2k requests made to the Authelia login page in the last 24 hours

        Are you logging into your Authelia login page 2k times a day? If not, I suspect that some (most) of those are malicious lol.

        You don’t know jack shit about what’s going on in another persons network

        It’s the internet, not your network. And I’m well aware of how the internet works. What you’re trying to argue here is like arguing that there’s no possible way that I know your part of the earth revolves around the sun. Unless you’re on a different internet from the rest of us, you’re subject to the same behavior. I mean I guess I didn’t ask if you were hosting your server in North Korea but since you’re posting here, I doubt it.

        I’m not sure why you’re acting like some kind of expert

        Well I am an expert with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity, but I’m not acting like an expert here, I’m acting like somebody with at least a rudimentary understanding of how these things work.

          Guess I’m a wonder then. I’ve always thought of myself as pretty wonderful, I’m glad to hear you agree.

          Are you logging into your Authelia login page 2k times a day? If not, I suspect that some (most) of those are malicious lol.

          That’s 2k requests made. None of them were served. Try to keep up.

          Well I am an expert with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity, but I’m not acting like an expert here, I’m acting like somebody with at least a rudimentary understanding of how these things work.

          Then I guess I should get a career in cybersecurity, because I obviously know more than someone with over a decade of supposed experience. If you were worth whatever your company is paying you in wages, you would know that a rule blocking connections from other countries, and also requiring the request for the login page come from one of the services on your domain, will block virtually all malicious attempts to access your services. Such a rule doesn’t work for a public site, but for a selfhosted setup it’s absolutely an easy option to reduce your bandwidth usage and make your setup far more secure.

            Whoa whoa whoa. What malicious attempts?

            You just told me you were the statistical wonder that nobody is bothering attack?

            That’s 2k requests made. None of them were served.

            So those 2k requests were not you then? They were hostile actors attempting to gain unauthorized access to your services?

            Well there we have it folks lmao

              I said it would block all malicious attempts. I didn’t say the people trying to access my services were malicious. Clearly the OP is worried about that. I however, having just the meager experience of, you know, actually fucking running the a Jellyfin server, am not. But I’m also not trying convince people I’m a smug cybersecurity expert with a decade of experience.

                As OP should be. 2k attempts a day at unauthorized access to your services is a pretty clear indicator of that. Seems you’ve mitigated it well enough, why would you suggest that OP not bother doing the same? If you’re so convinced those 2k attempts are not malicious, then go ahead and remove those rules if they’re unnecessary.

                Perhaps as someone with only meager experience running a Jellyfin server who can’t even recognize malicious traffic to their server, and zero understanding of the modern internet threat landscape, you shouldn’t be spreading misinformation that’s potentially damaging to new selfhosters?

                  If you were any good at reading, you would know that I said those rules protect the Authelia login page. They don’t protect the Jellyfin service or its login page at all. The Jellyfin instance is not behind anything except Cloudflare. I stated that in my very first message. Removing those rules would have no effect whatsoever on Jellyfin.

                    It’s over man. You’ve made it very clear you have no idea what you’re talking about, how any of this works, or even what’s going on with your own selfhosted services. Back peddling away from your own arguments and trying to sweep up the beans you’ve already spilled isn’t going to help your case.

                    Maybe stick to your day job, I just don’t think that cybersecurity career is in the cards for you.
