That’s why you do it at your router or gateway and then set a route for the Jellyfin server through the VPN adapter. That way any device on your network will flow through the tunnel to the Jellyfin server including TVs

    Which again implies that you have a router that allows you to do so. It's not always the case. For tech enthusiast people that's the case. But not for everyone.

    I tried to do the same thing at first, but it was a pain, there were tons of issues.

    Oh yes, the routers and gateways that most people have that are isp provided that may not actually have open VPN or wireguard support.

    Those ones?

    Also putting a VPN in someone else's house so that all their Network traffic goes through your gateway is pretty damn extreme.

    What? No, you can do a tiny reverse proxy/vpn on a stick with something like a RPi. Configure it and give it to them. Then they point their Jellyfin client on their device to the IP of the RPi instance on their network and that creates the tunnel back to your VPN endpoint and server.

    And for VPNs at a router level you can inject routes and leave th default route going out through your ISP, you don’t need to, nor want to, have all traffic going through it.
