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

You really can't assume your visitors are going to have static IPs.

What happens when they visit from their phone? A friend's WiFi? Their home connection that has a regularly changing IP?

    So far I've seen WAN leases expire after a long time, say months, or quarter year, so is doable. If becomes an issue I'll work with them on a VPN solution but is a pain for non-technical users or non-supported hardware. That's also why I explain "use from your home network only".

    What's your concern about running it behind a reverse proxy, like caddy or nginx?
