External access is much easier to get with Plex. Not everyone can setup a reverse proxy and the process gets even harder when your ISP assigns you a new public IP address every 24 hours (like mine does)
Yeah I think this would be one of the areas where Plex has an advantage over Jellyfin. Thanks for letting me know.
I managed to set my Jellyfin server up behind a reverse proxy, but yes that took a while to do.
I would suggest using a Tunnel; I personally use a TailScale funnel to reverse proxy my Jellyfin setup. No need to worry about IP address changes then. If you already reverse proxy things, use one of the other ports TS Funnel allows.
From TailScales docs: "Traffic over Funnel is subject to bandwidth limits. They are not currently configurable.". This is the same problem the CloudFlare proxy has, have you ran into any performance issues or throttling using funnel?
I haven't, no. But not many are using it currently. I would assume that bandwidth limits are more for large, terabytes of data, rather than a few hundred gigs. Could be mistaken though.
