Jellyfin is generally just as easy to set up for external access. The only thing you really need to worry about is having a dynamic IP. If you have a domain name, then setting up dynamic DNS is quite straightforward.

The only issue I have with people remotely accessing Jellyfin is that you cannot set a total system bandwidth cap. You can set a per stream cap, but that doesn’t help if you have too many people accessing your server at once.

I'm not trying to sound like a dick but having your own domain name isnt something most people have

Well perhaps I'll have to look into it

I got a free subdomain from freedns.afraid.org and they have a script you can just add to your crontab to periodically check your IP and to update their DNS listing if your ISP changes it

Freedns is great but they won't let you setup https certificates on the free plan, I found that out the hard way.
