Been thinking of throwing together a set top box with everything made up for my grandfather so he can stream stuff from my jellyfin setup.

I just need to find an ezpz enough to use frontend.

Slap a vpn on her computer or but a shitty dell from good will. Point the Roku at that and forward the traffic...?

Like this is a solvable setup and forget about it for the next 5 years. Sort of set up.

I manage it with netbird.

Just have em install netbird, if it's on they can connect to my website. If it's off they can't.

It's literally three steps for each person, there's ways to make this easy. It just requires the host to put in the leg work

It's really not. If people are too lazy to install one VPN app and import the tunnel config, then they can pay for paid streaming instead.
