As I think many of us are, I am at my relatives a lot for the
holidays. Many of my relatives have smart-TVs that are capable of
installing and running Jellyfin clients. My inclination is to use
these devices to connect to my Jellyfin server.

Problem: my Jellyfin server is behind an Authelia login page. So, when
the Jellyfin client attempts to connect, it gets blocked. What I think
I need is a one-time, temporary whitelist for the IP of my relatives'
network.

However, I'm open to other suggestions. Has anyone out there
encountered this situation, and if so what was your solution for it?

I usually bring my own streaming device so I don't have to install
things on someone else's tv (too many variations, I don't want to
break it, etc).  I can also install VPN on my own device to access my
local network.

Try npm (nginx proxy manager) instead of authelia for jellyfin?
