Jelllyfin + Subfin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin) works well, I’ve been using it with the OpenSubsonic Android apps listed in https://www.navidrome.org/apps/?platform=android&api=opensubsonic without issue. e.g. Substreamer, Tempus, Airdrome, etc. all work fine with Jellyfin + Subfin.

I’m guessing you’re not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.

Maybe that’s specific to UK? I’ve never had to upload ID at any of the general domain registrars but am not in the UK. Maybe you’re looking for a registrar that doesn’t do that for UK residents, specifically. (or you might need to use a VPN or something, dunno)

Privacy aside most people tend to buy a domain at the cheapest registrar (keeping in mind whether to renew at that registrar later or transfer out to a new one when the time comes). There are domain registrar sites people use for comparison, been a bit since I’ve needed to shop around but sites like https://tld-list.com/ can be helpful. You could try doing a lookup there and work your way down the list until you find one you like.

Or if you’re really set on looking for a service that actually advertises no KYC then looking through this list may help https://kycnot.me/?categories=domains (njalla is one of the listed ones there as someone else mentioned).

I made the jump to OPNsense recently, ended up buying a Protecli to install it on and its been working great so far. For me it sort of made sense since I wanted to have a little purpose built fanless system with Intel NICs, and Coreboot and Console access via USB are nice bonuses too. My original thinking was to try running other services on the same hardware (using Proxmox maybe) but for now it just runs OPNsense and nothing else… maybe it’s better for the network firewall to just be the network firewall, it’s the one thing I don’t want to crash and have an outage with.

But you don’t have to do that, pretty much any Intel/AMD based system with multiple Intel NICs should work with an OPNsense install. The other mini pc vendors will be a bit cheaper for sure, just be mindful of RAM and storage prices right now.

Offhand I’d suspect a finicky adapter. Does the adapter work with other disks? Does the disk work when plugged into a server/computer directly?

Assuming it’s the adapter being finicky - did you happen to try using other USB cables with the adapter?

When plugging into the system - Does the dmesg output display anything else useful, any warnings or anything? I would have thought it would give you the USB drive chipset vendor/model, I didn’t think Sabrent builds their own chipsets but could be wrong.

Also would try doing a smartctl --scan followed by a smartctl -a /dev/YOUR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE and see what comes up. (those are part of smartmontools)

tried it via tor

Doesn’t load in Tor for me either but I suspect their site is simply blocking Tor. The site does load fine outside Tor in the regular clearnet.

9 times out of 10 these sort of things turn out to be a DNS issue on your end, you might want to double-check you’re actually able to query their IP address via nslookup freedns.afraid.org or similar. (assuming you’ve already tried other web browsers to rule out issues with installed extensions or specific browser settings).

Adding onto the other comments, if you have admin access to your network router/firewall you can configure the incoming port forward itself to only allow specific IP addresses while dropping traffic from any other internet WAN IPs. It’s a bit like using the Jellyfin whitelist/blacklist but doing it at the network level. This drops all unwanted internet traffic to that port at the firewall before ever reaching the Jellyfin software. Downside is having to occasionally update the firewall whenever there are IP address changes.

This is probably only feasible if you only have some specific Jellyfin clients in mind to accept connections from, not any random person from any random WAN IP address.
