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

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.
Yeah, some random nobody trying to convince people they're a cybersecurity expert is gonna be what shuts me up.
I very clearly laid out my setup, and how you were wrong. If you can't even read well enough to understand that, let alone form som kind of actual argument backed up by reality, that isn't my problem to deal with.
I would say stick to your own day job, but if this is actually your day job then maybe check out whether your local Burger King has openings, you'll do less harm there.
You’ve argued from a position of weakness against a well known and accepted truth, and have provided zero proof to back up your outlandish claim. On the contrary you’ve admitted to the existence of unwanted access attempts to your services, as well as your usage of mitigations to the same problem you insist doesn’t exist.
It’s over man. You’re certified expert yapper but that’s not going to convince me or anyone else here that you know what you’re talking about. It’s a wrap.
Is this Reddit? When were we supposed to be seeking the validation of random strangers on the net, especially ones who brag about their bona fides like it's a CoD lobby? You keep saying it's over, but for some reason you keep coming back here to try to get the last word. If I'm in a position of weakness, why is it you're the one trying so hard? You're in a dick measuring contest against yourself. I'm getting second-hand embarrassment.
