  • I remember you were worried about your ISP messing things up for you, hence the VPN. I would recommend creating a “Virtual Machine” that does all of your downloading to whatever hard drive you’re using. That VM can have proton installed. Then, on your regular computer (not within the VM), you can host Jellyfin with no VPN involved, making it accessible at 192.168.0.xx.

    I think this hits your goals without needing to expose Jellyfin to the Internet. Plus it has minimal technical complexity. Your downloading traffic will be VPN protected, but Jellyfin will still be accessible to your local network.
    edit: You can set up a password for Jellyfin, protecting it from your internal threats.

    edit2: You can use letsencrypt to create a certificate that picky clients will accept. Buy a domain, any domain, and configure the “A record” to point to 192.168.0.xx (your Jellyfin IP). Then tell your client to go to whatever domain you get, like “luigiliterallydidnothingwrongplzfree.com”, then the client will have to use the internet to ask DNS what the IP address is, but after that, it will just use your local network.

    edit3: Since you just have the raspberry PI, instead of using a Virtual Machine, you could have 2 separate SD cards. One only has the downloader and VPN installed, the other only has Jellyfin installed (no VPN). Then swap as needed.

    Right now, I’ve only got the spoons to provide rough guidance, not details. In order to use non-tailnet IPs, you’ll need to configure your tailnet host to “advertise routes/push routes”. In more laymen terms, tailnet needs to say, “hey network client, I do know where 192.168.0.69 is! So I can route that request”. By default, each tailnet host only advertises the other tailnet hosts. Anything else fails.

    Also, I really appreciate how detailed your question is!




  • Well, if the Republicans hate it, it’s probably reasonable. Let’s check the article. “It would require the Secretary of State’s Office to check addresses during the signature verification process and it would require signature gatherers to sign a declaration on each sheet of signatures they collect.”

    That’s basically the smallest, least intrusive thing that can be done to prevent fraud. It’s kinda wild that wasn’t already in place, but that probably explains the ease with which unpopular, right-wing, corporate-sponsored initiatives have been ending up on the ballot 🙄
