      Plex is also a much better music player/streamer if you have plex pass with plexamp. Jellyfin’s audio renderer is pitifully bad by default, and only marginally better if you modify the factory file to use something like MPC-HC. Also, Jellyfin’s album and artist sorting is pretty mid.

          Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.

          Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?

            You shouldn’t be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that’s why.

            Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.

            Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.

            Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.
