What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? (feddit.nu)

when reading through the jellyfin with chromecast guide i realized that it would probably be less effort to just let the casting api be public, with the added bonus that i could then cast my library to any device that supports it. but that seems like it would paint a giant target on the server.

what's the recommended way of doing stuff like this? ideally i want to be able to go to someone's house and just play some of my media on their tv.

not that any of this is doable in the near future, since i'm behind cgnat and won't get my colocated bounce server up until spring.

Yea I haven't tried Pangolin myself - looks a bit bloated for my tastes, but I have tried rinetd across Tailscale and it worked brilliantly (very simple conf file), and I've done reverse ssh before (using autossh) which was a bit fiddly. frp does look promising though, just as a VPS<->home bridge.
