Cloudflare Tunnel only works if you access it via a web browser right?
I'd prefer using Tailscale so that I can also access it in their native apps on Android and Android TV.
- apitman 2y agoI haven't tried it with Cloudflare specifically, but I believe you should be able to just put the domain name in as the server address in the mobile and TV apps.
- judge2020 2y agoCloudflare Tunnel can be authenticated via other means like JWT, but that is definitely a non-starter since the apps don't support it. Tailscale would definitely be better.
- Sakos 2y agoI'm not sure why it wouldn't work with the apps? I have my jellyfin server behind a CF tunnel and I can access it in the Android app by my domain.
- yegle 2y agoOh I see. I confused Cloudflare Tunnel with Cloudflare Access. Yes Cloudflare Tunnel can work with Jellyfin apps, but: 1) this exposed your Jellyfin to the world, and you are one vulnerable away to get owned, and 2) like other sibling posts mentioned, this is against their ToS to host streaming service on free plan on their platform.
- TomJansen 2y agoI though Cloudflare forbade streaming via their network? Did their ToS change?
