Running a TrueNAS Scale server with Jellyfin and planning to add Nextcloud. How would I be able to access these services from outside my network? I have heard portforwarding is unsafe and a VPN seems inconvenient to me.

    Well hosting a web server is against my isp’s terms of service so I’m playing dangerous either way lol. But I only use it for my nextcloud, I plan on either switching to FiOS or upgrading to business internet with my current provider so I can get rid of the cgnat.

      That is a fair point lol 😂

      Yeah, cgNAT is such a drag man.

      It’s bad even for non tech people. They will be wondering why they cant connect to voice chat in their game system, or why they can’t connect to their VPN for work.

      We need to rip the band-aid off and embrace ipv6.

        I’ll be honest with you, aside from the fact I can’t get a static IP or forward ports I’ve naver really had any issues with it. I use discord for voice chat and don’t play on consoles though.
