redfox , 4 months ago I'm going to be lame here, but I used to just install it as a package on my media computer. It was old school, but super stable and no complaints. I'm not familiar with that VPN solution, sorry. I also just created static DNS entry for the media server. Used app on phone. Didn't have to fuss with it. I like Emby now, but used Plex for a while. For the media server OS, I use Rocky Linux. But it requires you can do Linux, instead of a simple install with gui. If that's an Intel Mac, you could look at TrueNAS, but that's got caveats you need to learn.
