Need help with remote server setup

I keep falling down rabbit holes and hitting dead ends trying to figure this out. I appreciate any input & guidance.

I have years and years of media on an emby server and im trying to setup a safe option to share with friends & family.

Current ISP does not do dynamic ip addr for port forwarding, only static which opens my system up to attack.

Was looking into VPNs but mullvad and a couple other popular ones do not allow port forwarding.

Next option i was told was setting up a cloudflare tunnel. I liked the idea of this only swtting up outbound connection without needing to forward a port. But then i read of their restrictions on media streaming large video files.

Heres my current situation:

-running emby server on windows 10

-dont have option to buy or build machine for dedicated server. Media is connected to my private pc

-i already have user accounts setup w passwords for those i want to allow access

-nearly 10tb of data on server with files ranging in size larger vid files are 20+gb

-only trying to setup the sharing, not using pc to download new media

-i can run on local machines just fine. Specifically having trouble w remote access

-I've paid for Emby Premier account

Can someone please help me setup what im trying to do? I just want to allow my users access at any time they wish while keeping my system/data secure.

feels like im missing some basic important steps to do this quick and easy. 😞

Man I hope

Whoever takes over next after sweet potato hitler in the US makes it illegal for the commander n chief to post or comment on social media.

Can we pass a law? I'm tired of the daily stupid shit. Miss when the position had some decorum and we'd get a serious announcement every once in a while when it mattered.

There's too many stupid people out there and harm being done.

What actor/character voiceover do you hear for your dog?

Haven't decided for Blue yet.

But all you pup parents know what i mean.

My old boy who passed a cpl years back (😢) used to sound like Fat Tony from the simpsons in my head.

Lookin forward to seein what you all are hearin.

Was anyone else really bummed out when they saw this happen on their 1st playthrough?

Shadow of Colossus was a beautiful game.

Didnt really explain much before you got going. Just explore, figure things out and have fun. As an aging gamer, i miss that (when done right)

Way ahead of its time. Some of the earliest climbing/stamina mechanics on the PS2 that paved the way for many others that came after.

Yet another classic im glad got refreshed w new graphics on more modern consoles in our lifetime.

Blue'a good boy yes, but he's also the nervous type.

It's great that he's getting used to people and they want to approach, but i always get the same question, then the side eye when i say "he is, but he's energetic and in training". What i really mean is: " he is but we don't know you or what you'll try"

What's your go to response to this? I can't be the only one. Trying to teach my nervous boy that the world's ok sometimes while still keeping him safe and fighting the stigma...

Update from my last post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ballpython/s/NmIe37TPs3

Took longer than i would've liked due to year end financial difficulties. But about 2 months ago I finally splurged and upgraded my little Q-ball's enclosure.

Setup so far:

4x2x2 PVC front loading cage

Manually built & silicone sealed

Hvac bubble sealed the screen top

Small round stick on button hygrometers (planning to upgrade)

Lighting/Heating:

T5 48in light bar for his day/night cycle

100w halogen heat lamp (planning to upgrade to 150w) digital thermostat controlled

Side mounted heat pad (warm side) [built in thermostat]

Enrichment:

Cool side & warm side hides

Fake foliage for clutter (buying more in passing)

2 linked wooden climbing loops

Small downed log decoration to climb through

Flat climbing branch (side/floor leaning)

I have a couple more things purchased but not installed yet 😅.

Going to get a tension rod for clumbing too.

It's slow moving but doin my best.Times r still a bit tough but i plan to improve it little by little as i go.

I'll say he looks a lot happier immediately. 1st night climbed all the walls & i can hear him rooting around in there. Short hunger strike while he adjusted for a little over a month, but has since eaten and become more comfortable being seen.

Thank you all for your advice and the help from this sub. If anyone has any low priced good upgrade ideas, please send them my way 🫡.
