    If my server is already open to everyone, what kind of potential attacks do i need to be worried a about? I dont keep personal files on my streaming server, its just videos, music and isos/roms. I dont restrict sign ups, so the idea of an unauthorized user doing something like download a video is a non issue for me really.

    I do see where there could be problems for folks running jfin on the same server they keep private photos or for people who charge users for acess, but thats not me.

    Am i missing something or is the main result of most of these that a “malicious” actor could dowload files jellyfin has access to without authentication?

      I guess the worst thing is that your server starts attacking the US military servers because you’ve become part of a botnet.

      That happened to my friend one time when I installed Linux on his computer. He made the username and password the same 4-character word. Got a letter from the DoD.

      I dont think they would be so forgiving these days. Especially if you’re brown.
