I have a Jellyfin instance on my local server which I forward to the public web via a cloudflare tunnel. I’m not sure how secure it is, and I keep getting random requests from all over the world. It’s my first experience maintaining something on a public domain so I may be worrying about something obvious, but some advice would still be appreciated.

My SSL/TLS encryption mode appears to be “Full”.

    Any time I’ve ever had a server of any kind connected to the net it’s gotten endless ‘doorknob turning’ from bots scanning for stuff. At the very least, bots trying ssh passwords on common accounts.

    I don’t have any specific jellyfin advice, but random attempts from all over is pretty usual on the net these days.

        Dude are you thinking for a fraction of second before writing your comment or just typing some random insults for the sake of insulting random people?

        Why would he say these days if he were 12? The situation woul’ve been the same for his whole life.

          Mean but admining a public endpoint without this even crossing your mind is a good way to out how green you are
