hi is there any local cloudflare alternative becourse from my reading it seems that that using it for jellyfin is against cloudflares TOS and i would like to get jellyfin to my domain but i dont wanna pay for it, so a loxal alternative would probably be my best bet, i also would prefer not to open any ports
Maybe look into Tailscale. At the end of the day, someone needs to open up the ports, but Tailscale does it strictly to negotiate a VPN connection between two devices, so they don’t see the traffic that goes over the tunnel.
I think you should understand that if you are opening ports to the wide internet, you are putting yourself and anyone else on your network at risk. You’re playing with fire here.
I have this setup with Tailscale so that I can watch plex from anywhere, without exposing ports to devices that I don’t trust and I can help you if you want. But don’t expose 80 to the internet.
Yeah you create the subdomain and use their domain. It’s a free DNS service that prevents you from having to buy your own domain and host and setup all the DNS security yourself.
