ITT: Have you heard the good news about our lord and saviour, Jellyfin?
I always wonder why some people are so dedicated to Jellyfin. Even if JF had full feature and experience parity, it would still not have secure remote access the way Plex does. There is no need to port forward or NAT Plex for external access if you use app.plex.tv to access. With the threat landscape the way it is today, that is worth a lot.
I haven't used Plex in a while, but I'm confused how Plex handles WAN connections without using any port forwarding? how is that possible?
I have not looked into it for a while but I believe their servers broker a direct connection between the client and server.
