It is very hard to give any practical advises (in particular because you don't say how exactly it is not working for you). But indeed it is unlikely that the problem is specific to FreeBSD port of Jellyfin. I configured it behind the reverse proxy following https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/nginx/ (Nginx from a subdomain variant) and it works as expected. I think I also tried enabling HTTPS in Jellyfin and exposing it directly but enabling HTTPS broke DLNA streaming in the LAN (which turned out to be a known issue) so I settled on Jellyfin behind Nginx.

Your best (easiest?) way would be to use a reverse proxy as @badrpc suggested. I am a fan of NGINX or HAProxy for that.

Hi,

I tried another approach for real and it went very well indeed.

I have a reverse proxy, installed on a freeBSD jail as well as jellyfin, and without any problem I can access remotely.

My steps I put them here, only they are in Spanish.
