I can't recommend to the average joe...

That's a bit uncalled for, don't you think?

I just used a mini pc to create a seperate network, then blocked internet for TV network. Then i setup microsocks and made an exception for that proxy and jellyfin. This way I can use smartube (it has a proxy option) for youtube and jellyfin for other media without logging in or providing internet access to anything on the TV.
