What's the benefit in using a "self hosted streaming server", when I can just mount a network share and connect to a personal VPN when I'm out and about? This is what I've been doing for awhile and I've had zero issues. As far as I can tell it's secure.
Is it just to allow others to use the server with login credentials?
I find it easier to stream music from my phone, especially with a slow uplink and the real time encoding to a lossy format with the servers.
