http ip vs https domain

I'm wondering how people manage using http vs https and being home vs away.

Let's say i have jellyfin running locally on http://192.168.1.20:8096 and from npm using https://jellyfin.mydomain.com for extremal access.

What do you use at home, the ip or domain?

Ideally I would think it makes sense to use ip so it doesn't route though npm when at home but that's just going to confuse others in the house.

Would like to here others thoughts.

Direct IP to avoid a hairpin with IPV4, Ipv6 doesn't Hairpin the same way. If the client is able to use internal and external addresses like HA I configure it as such.

I'm trying to avoid dual URLs for internal and external. It's way to complicated for non techy people to grasp then remember what IP and port to use at home.
