The only thing keeping me with Plex (bought lifetime like 10 years ago) is that I serve content to elderly family members in two different countries other than the one I live in.
Otherwise I'd be Jellyfin all the way!
You can do this with Jellyfin too, there's lots of guides online on how to set it up. Requires a bit of self-hosting knowledge, but if you're reading this there's a good chance you have that.
Great; how do I setup Tailscale on my Roku streaming box since I shouldn’t open Jellyfin ports to the Internet?
That wasn’t the question; please answer the question asked - how do I setup Tailscale (that everyone keeps recommending) on my Roku streamer.
A reverse proxy does not add any security compared to opening a port. A VPN is the recommended solution (even by the devs themselves) because you do not want the public Internet to be able to access your Jellyfin server, its as open as a barn door
