I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don’t love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won’t go to the site - annoying.

I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don’t see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?

    In this case I‘m out of ideas. :) but thanks for elaborating. I appreciate it.

      No problem, you made a good point.

      In any case, my main beef was that relying solely on IP is a pretty shitty way to deal with this on Google’s part. They make you jump through hoops and establish over half a dozen ways of proving who you are (user & password, secret question & answer, secondary emails, OTP codes, secondary auth codes, phone SMS, phone confirmation – which are behind phone unlock) and none of that matters when they don’t like your current IP? Then what are they for?

        Makes total sense. Good luck figuring it out. :)
