No ports to open
Your server connects out to us, so it works behind any router, carrier-grade NAT, or a network you don't control. Nothing on your home network is exposed.
Private alpha · by invitation
Your Jellyfin, anywhere.
A secure address for the Jellyfin server you already run at home. Watch from your phone, a hotel TV or a friend's place, and share it with family. No port forwarding, no VPN, no router setup.

Why Jellyfin Relay
Works with every Jellyfin app
Web, phones, TVs and desktop apps sign in with your server's address and the Jellyfin accounts you already have.
Fast where you are
Your server is matched to the relay closest to it, and moves to another one automatically if a relay has a problem. Relays today: ca-east.
Protection built in
Password guessing is slowed down, the setup wizard can't be reached from the internet, and Jellyfin sees each viewer's real address so your remote-access rules apply.
Your media stays home
Nothing is uploaded or stored. Video streams straight from your server, encrypted, through the relay.
One switch
Turn remote access off and on from the plugin page in Jellyfin. Off means off, at once.
Pricing
Pricing will be announced when the service opens. During the private alpha, invited testers use it free.
Private by design
- We never store your media or see what you watch.
- We don't log your viewers' IP addresses.
- No ads, no tracking cookies, no data sold.
Questions
Is this a VPN?
No. Only your Jellyfin server is reachable, at its own address. Your viewers install nothing: they open the address and sign in with their Jellyfin account.
Does my internet provider block it?
It works even when port forwarding is impossible, for example with carrier-grade NAT or a shared network, because your server makes the connection outward.
What do I need?
A Jellyfin server you run yourself (Jellyfin 12 or later) and an internet connection. Streaming quality depends on your upload speed and your plan's bandwidth.
Is my video encrypted?
Yes, between your viewers and the relay and between the relay and your server. The relay decrypts traffic in memory only to pass it along; it does not store or inspect it.
Can I share it with family and friends?
Yes: give them the address and a Jellyfin account on your server. Sharing with the general public or reselling access is not allowed.
Is this an official Jellyfin service?
No. Jellyfin Relay is an independent service built for Jellyfin, and is not affiliated with the Jellyfin project.
