Hi,

I am planning to switch from Plex to Jellyfin all in the name of supporting FOSS. I am wondering if anyone knows whether Jellyfin has a built-in proxy just like Plex? I am not talking about the Plex relay that limits your streaming speed when port forwarding is not setup correctly. I am talking about a normally functioning Plex server that still by default hides the IP of the server. Does Jellyfin do this too, or will it expose my IP externally to those who connect to my server?

Edit: If you are unsure what I am talking about, open a desktop browser and connect through the browser to a Plex server. If you have any extensions in your browser that show the IP of the website you’re connected to, like I do (flagfox), then you’ll see what I mean about Plex hiding the server IP. I honestly would’ve never known Plex did this had it not been for my browser extension.

    Last I’ve tested the server IP gets exposed even if you access it through a reverse proxy.

    Edit: Seems like since this recently merged PR it’s now possible to hide it by binding to 127.0.0.1. By default however it will still expose the external IP.
