I recently got a Synology NAS and I am trying to setup Emby. I wanna host a media server however, I wanna be able to access the emby location from anywhere and let say my mom access it. Just I wanna keep it secure. Should I use cloudflare?

    Can this be done with an ISP that gives you a dynamic IP? I have a domain through Google Domains, I just have no idea how to set it up for Jellyfin

      Look into dynamic DNS. It’s for your exact case, when your up updates you need to update the DNS host with your new IP. Idk if Google domains does it, I use it with namecheap and then there’s an option in offense that will tell namecheap that my IP has changed.

      This isn’t a “production” worthy option because there can be downtime when your Ip switches, but for us it’s perfect.
