Hi guys, super noob here. I just set up my first Jellyfin server using
Unraid and port forwarding, and my more experienced friend recommended
I set up Fail2Ban for extra security. I found [this
guide](https://github.com/FrankM77/docker-fail2ban#readme) but it's a
little scarce on details. I can get as far as identifying the folders
specified in the instructions, then I get lost. Any help would be
appreciated!

I chose to use port forwarding for the server just out of simplicity,
but it sounds like most people recommend reverse VPNs/reverse proxies.
I'm not opposed to trying one out, but does it make things more
complicated for sharing the server with my friends? I'm not sure they
will understand how to use it if the process is more technical or
involved than just logging in.

Thanks so much!
