I'm not the guy you replied to but personally I use a setup called split-horizon DNS.

  1. I have a DNS server running on a raspberry pi which I have set up as the DNS server for all devices in my local network (by setting it in the router).
  2. This DNS server has my domain name as an A record pointing to my reverse-proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager), e.g. example.com would resolve to 192.168.0.100.
  3. Any subdomain I want to use is set up as a CNAME record in my DNS server referring to the previously configured A record with my domain. (jellyfin.example.com => example.com)
  4. Now all requests to the registered domain and subdomain are routed to my reverse-proxy which I configured to forward them to the correct service depending on the given subdomain.

This is a little bit of a simplification. I also use a cloudflare tunnel to allow access to select subdomains and I have 2 reverse-proxies chained together since NPM can resolve services by their container name as long as they are in the same docker network.

Also probably important: My DNS server was a pi-hole (until today at least) and did not act as my DHCP server. This meant it had no idea of local device hostnames and therefore was configured to forward queries to local device names to my routers built-in DNS server.

The domain I use for my services is one I rent from a registrar so that I can get valid SSL certificates without self-signing them. If you are fine with self-signed certificates or simple http you probably don't need to do that.

I have also heard that you can bind your hypothetical torrent client to your hypothetical VPN network interface meaning it would be unable to even send out any data if the VPN was not connected.

Or in the case of docker use a prepackaged VPN+Torrent container or pipe all container network traffic through a VPN container like gluetun

I think there was a specific app for google TV which I used. My main problem was probably the lack of a wired connection since the Chromecast doesn't have an ethernet port

Some cars that have this literally tell you to get it serviced by the manufacturer :/ In my limited experience, that's mostly cars after built after 2010. Mine (Skoda Fabia 2) only shows a little wrench in the display which I can simply tell to go away.

Meanwhile I can't even use steam in-home streaming to my chromecast because the artifacts and input lag is too bad to use.

Maybe he means the automatic service interval that pops up on a lot of cars? I personally treat that one as more of a reminder to check the oil and tire pressure

What about NAS systems? I don't recall seeing any for 10" before

I believe DVDs do have DRM actually but it has been broken so long ago as to be a non-issue

Actually ignore my previous reply. I just noticed that google drive has 15GiB of free storage instead of 5 like I thought. I sent you a link via PM to a shared folder in my google drive where you can upload it if you are still offering.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I don't know any free cloud upload services that support that much data. I tried creating a file upload link for my synology NAS but based on the given URL that one would only work if you were in my local network and I don't believe there is a way to share that without exposing the entire NAS to the internet.

Thanks for the setup tips, especially about the masquerade rule and safe mode.

I'm not too worries about the loss of speed since internet here in germany is on average slower than 250mbps and anything data intensive like access to my Mediaserver should be handled over Ethernet anyway. If it does become an issue I can always throw a second AP at it I guess?

I'm not sure how to find out whether it has two access points. Performancewise I believe the specific model I have selected should be fine.
