Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

Possibly mTLS, which you’d configure in your reverse proxy. You could email them the certificate and instructions on installing it. I believe for Chromium browsers on Windows you basically just double click the cert and click through the wizard. Firefox I know has a thing in the settings for importing the cert. Android you just tap on the cert and make sure it opens with ‘Certificate Installer’ if it gives you the option.
I recently did exactly this. Only works with the web UI, no apps support it, but working well and those without the cert just get a 400 error. Not sure if non technical tbh, since you will get warnings when adding your root certificates to any device, and that might scare some who don’t understand what it does.
Also set it up through wireguard, so can punch out of double NAT.
Yeah that’s true.
It’s not a root certificate, and I’ve never seen any warnings.
You need the web site to use a certificate from the same root authority as your client certificate. Otherwise browsers won’t present the certificate to the server. That means either warnings on connect or adding the root cert.
I do think if you are doing it with them in person it is doable to add it.
I’m not sure if I’ve misunderstood you, but I use Lets Encrypt for the server’s TLS, and then my own CA cert (which is only present on the webserver) for the client’s mTLS and everything works fine, since it’s the client that validates the server’s cert and the server that validates the client’s cert.
This should be at the top
Not a terrible idea but im not sure rokus or fire sticks or whatever even have this capability.
