    Unfortunately, that’s probably not gonna happen without some new hardware.

    You could setup a wire guard at the router (can you setup tail scale on a router? idk). If she’s renting the ISP router, replacing that could save a 100+ a year, depending on how much the isp is scamming her for it.

    or you could repurpose a minipc/nuc from bay and set up a jellyfin streaming box with tailscale.

    If you have the extra hardware, you could also setup a local server with her jellyfin and use wiregaurd/tailscale to remotely connect to it and run backup/sync during off-hours.
