I doubt this is a thing, but is there a VPN tunnel like headscale//tailscale that allows a person to approve a client connection from the app or elsewhere for another device without it? I’m asking because I want to use devices like tvs with jellyfin but behind tailscale as well. Is this a thing? I don’t know exactly how the app works, so don’t crucify me lol.

Setup otp auth, and do people connecting ask you the code.

don’t know if it’s exactly what you’re looking for:

zerotier needs you (as the admin) to approve a new client that tries to join a network.

Not exactly clear what you mean.

But to use Jellyfin on a SmartTV through Tailscale you can simply use a device that runs as Tailscale subnet router and correctly set up the routes.
