Hello people I have a Jellyfin server running on an Ubuntu laptop. But I am also using Mullvad VPN on that laptop for torrenting purposes. Is there a way that I can access the Jellyfin server from another computer in my home network and keep the VPN running at the same time?
No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.
Oh didn’t know about that, very convenient thanks
Since mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore, you’ll want to split tunnel it outside of the vpn. However, if you’re considering switching vpn’s at all, airvpn has a dynamic dns service (and port forwarding) which you can set up to have a static url for your jellyfin.
Just be sure to enable the DLNA server and allow remote connections in the jellyfin settings either way.
Probably if you split tunnel the vpn connection from mullvad to your torrent application and not run the vpn for the entire laptop’s network stack this could be done.
Alternatively, dockerize the entire vpn+torrent (+jellyfin) setup? That way the container gets the vpn but you can still access using your host ip for jellyfin.
Only The title makes me suffer already.
Well sorry didn’t know how to word it better as english isn’t my native language
I’m an English native, and I don’t see an issue with the title. I understood what you are saying perfectly fine
