      You can “proxy” tailscale networks, you’d need 1 device per household with tailscale running and accepting/advertising routes. Not sure if tailscale IP addressing works in that case though, and just doing it via private IP can get problematic with same network range in the household

      Any old Raspberry Pi on your network can forward a port from LAN to the Jellyfin server on Tailscale somewhere. Single iptables masquerade command should do the trick. Or if you happen to have a good router with owrt support you can run Tailscale there too.

      while not technically allowed by cloudflare TOS for the free plan, it’s possible to host jellyfin under a cloudflare tunnel
