want to get started but finding the technical side really overwhelming (sh.itjust.works)

I'd really like to get started with this stuff but finding the technical requirement exhausting.

Trying to install privoxyvpn- "simply add the proxy to your browser and ensure the configuration is correct" (no help as to what this means, or how to do it and following the basic instructions just renders my browser unable to connect - googling the error message gives me replies like "simply make sure you read the logs" (no description of how to get to the logs or how to read them)

hearing I need a proxy and a reverse proxy, install SWAG — "first, point the A name at your server and the CNAME at the A and then install the SSL certificate - but be sure to pick between directories and subdomains if you have fewer than 20 domains in your account."

Like what the fuck does any of this mean?

Then I hear if I have a proxy it might interfere with the reverse proxy and both might interfere with the VPN and vice versa.

How does one even get started?

None of that is necessary. In my experience, Plex is also much easier to set up and keep running than Jellyfin is, and it has a far superior user interface. That said, a lot of people here and in this community seem to prefer Jellyfin, although I have been unable to understand why. I did eventually get it to work, but I just don't like it as much as Plex so. That's my $0.02.

It is a little frustrating that you advised me to ask AI to tell me what to do, I posted the answer verbatim and you said it's not necessary. Is that because you know the real answer but don't want to tell me, because the AI is wrong, or something else?

the issue isn't plex v jellyfin ease of use, its mullvad or privoxxy on gluetun through docker via compose ...ease of use.
