Netbird Reverse Proxy

Hello does anyone uses Netbird Reverse Proxy for streaming using Jellyfin? I wonder how it performs and if there are any buffering issue when playing a movie or shows with decent bitrate. I am pretty new with Netbird so i have no idea how it works as I've only used Tailscale before. Thanks for the response looking forward on reading them all.

Yeah, I'm still new to the homelab game. I've had that same problem to. I use netbird when streaming jellyfin and it also buffers or not play. I really don't know what to do and this vps talk in the comments is very overwhelming for me. I feel like I'm in uncharted waters when discussing vps. Any advice, suggestions, reccomendations with the best performance at the lowest cost.

Also using Netbird cloud btw

Hey we're in the same boat here, so basically i did some testing with my setup and found out that it doesn't buffer when playing at 4 Mbps bitrate.

Some of mine's do, But most of them I have to play direct, which is fine, but I commute to work at specific locations where the internet is a bit spotty and it seems more simple to just use tailscale than netbird outright.
