That doesn't slove the problem if your Smart TV doesn't support tailscale or something like Wireguard. Using another machine connected to a VPN like for example Tailscale/Headscale and then using ssh portforwarding allows you to access the service(jellyfin) on the device without support.

It would be like this:

Jellyfin <-- Tailscale/Headscale <--- Machine forwarding the jellyfins port <-- Smart TV

This can be done with a command like this:

ssh -L 0.0.0.0:8096:jellyfin_tailnet_ip:8096 -f -N user@machine

Fyi, WERO runs on AWS

I have done what you are looking for on OPNsense. And I'm pretty sure it can also be done with OpenWRT.

You will need to setup multi WAN and setup some static routes and use your RoadWarrior setup.

Aka you want this:

Phone › Via Wireguard › OpenWRT › Via Wireguard › VPN provider

I don't have a guide on how to do it but I will try to find one and update this comment if I do. But here are some Guides that might help you in creating it!

Multi WAN Guide

MullvadVPNs OpenWRT Guide for Wireguard (Should work with other providers)

OpenWRT Wireguard Guides

I'm also including the guide to setup Roadwarrior & External VPN provider for OPNsense so you can get a idea of how it should be done and work

OPNsense guide I used to create my Wireguard WAN

OPNsense guide I also used for Wireguard WAN

OPNsense Guide I used for my Roadwarior Setup

I did this by using Seer and Jellyfin Enhanced Plugin. Also here is a list of Jellyfin plugins

I can recommend Yet Another Media Server the only down side is that you won't really learn how to use and manage containers (docker or podman). But this solution is quick and easy it also helps setup a qbittorent container with a VPN. For downloading Linux ISOs. ;D

I use the following

Debian for Laptop Bazzite for Gaming PC HatvesterHCI for Hypervisor Truenas Scale for NAS (VM with disk pass thru) Rocky Linux for Servers (I have created Hardened Images) I use OS-build to create the Rocky Images

Im using the Elemental and Its quite good!

A friend of mine works at a repair shop and has seen and created some wonderful stuff!

For example the iTaco™

If I remember correctly it was sawed in half. XD
