This is the biggest downfall of Emby/Jellyfin IMO. It’s a tradeoff from being reliant on Plex’s authentication servers, but requires a lot of technical knowledge to setup correctly (rather than just port forwarding and relying on a strong password).

Sure was! You need to be on top of paid and free and open source software from a security stand point. There’s no shortcut no matter what you think you’re paying for.

Sometimes it’s better for you to do it yourself because there’s no lying about responsibilities that way.
