What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

Gotcha. Jellyfin is my backup server behind plex so I’ll just keep it shut off unless I’m using it and set all security things I can within jellyfin when I am using it.

How likely is it someone even finds my server and domain?

you're not particularly worried about "someone", you're worried about bots that are scanning IP ranges and especially default ports. A lot of people will install a program, not really understand what it does, and forward a port because the setup told them to. Then proceed to never update the program (or it's a poorly secured program in the first place).
