Tom,
Your video got me thinking about trying to secure my open ports. For example I have a few people I share my plex server with. I presume they have a dynamic IP address from their ISP. Is their a way to input their source address as an alias and have it update if their IP changes?

I would rather not use source IP addresses as a means for authentication (that is is basically what you are saying, if I understand things correctly).

As far as I’m concerned a VPN would be the preferred way here.

I have a vpn on my router (pfsense) that I can dial into my network from. How can I get their steaming device to use a vpn (roku and firestick)?
