Thanks for sharing; I was unaware. Just closed off that network hole.

Thank you. I did see this list before. My jellyfin instance is not exposed to the net atm., but I'm thinking of exposing it in intervals and would like to have fail2ban working when/if I do.

I'm just not sure if fail2ban can mitigate the unaouthorized api access or other issues

Wow, I tested out jellyfin every 6 months for the last few years to see if it was ready to replace plex yet, and I had no idea about such huge security issues. There should really be a big ass warning about making jellyfin publicly accessible in the app and in setup guides..

The main issue for me is the way they react to it. Not only is there no warning about this, but they also refuse to fix it because it would break client support and they prefer backwards compatibility over security

Would putting jellyfin behind authentik or googleSSO protect me? Trying to figure out how to replace plex for my extended family since theyre charging for external connections now

Just be aware that putting Jellyfin behind a Reverse Proxy that redirects to external auth services, breaks client support that is not in a browser.
Thus you either white-/blacklist specific server access paths or set up accounts that may relay the loging credentials.
Maybe something like LDAP may work but I can't say how well it works as I havent used that.

It works as advertised.

The solution here is to use a wireguard (or similar technology) server and use it on all your devices. People already use VPNs for everything, so adding this layer isn't that much of a hassle !

That depends entirely on your target audience as well as the devices you want to use it on. Smart TVs don't really support VPNs and my parents would not know how to even activate that let alone set it up on their end. I have a lot of non tech savvy users, so Plex is just way more convenient and accessible.
