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?

    To reduce that, there are a few things you can do.

    Option 1:

    • Only open port 443 and run everything through a reverse proxy like traefik. You can open other ports ad you need them (game server for example)

    • Run crowdsec to get rid of 95% of bad actors

    • Whitelist IPs that you know traffic will be coming from and drop everything else

    Option 2:

    • wireguard VPN and just VPN into your home network to access your server

    Option 3:

    • Run tailscale

    • run fail2ban
