Switched to Jellyfin a few weeks ago from PLEX and it has been rock solid so far. I especially love how much better managing users is. Having more control over who can download, stream, and transcode when doing either of those things is A+.

Does Jellyfin offer a way to watch from outside the local network alà app.plex.com? Or do I need to set up a vpn as well?

Just the usual ways of exposing a service to the public net. Port forwarding or VPN would both work fine. Jellyfin does support UPnP.

There's also fairly complete documentation on setting up a number of reverse proxies if you're considering port forwarding: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/reverse-pro...

Awesome thanks!
