I really like Connect. Not sure if it's "the best" but it's free and does everything I need it to.

MAM is why I have a seedbox.

Fair, lol.

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/. And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.

Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

W-A-S-D for sure. Can't believe the things people are trying to do these days, "omm-figuh"! /s

Awesome, but what's up with the chonk leg?

So I don't use overseerr but I do use jellyseerr with my emby setup. Both are just webservers that use a webpage/site that you can login to and add/search for content that will then be sent to your -arr stack and finally indexed into Plex/Emby. You can install overseerr on whatever machine you like, but to access it your other devices need to know where to find it (ie IP:port of hosting machine). You should really set up overseerr on a machine that runs continuously, so like others have said, likely the machine you run Plex on.

I personally take this a step further and use an internal custom domain name (ie. jellyseerr.mymedia.com) that can be accessed from any device on my internal network. I set my router to capture all domain requests for "mymedia.com" and redirect them to a reverse proxy (swag in my case) that will then forward the requests to different IP:port combinations based on subdomain. For example: emby.mymedia.com, jellyseerr.mymedia.com, radarr.mymedia.com, etc. This allows you to access all your services using easy to remember domain names instead of IP addresses.

This is always my go to.

Nice! I'll have to check it out. Scifi and fantasy are 90% of what I read/listen to, lol.

What are you listening to? I'm just about finished with Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing.

That looks great. Seems it would work well if you don't want the server options that come with audiobookshelf.
