This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

It sits in charge of your ports 80/443 and decides to which webserver it sends traffic. If to your jellyfin, or your nextcloud, or your uptimekuma, or your vaultwarden or your mealie or your dashboard...

unlike others it automaticly do https certificate for you and its config is really clean and readable which is nice.

Heres how to set it up if you wanna try.
