darkassassin07 423 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) If you forward a different wan port to your server (8096 for example), can you reach your server through that? My previous internet connection blocked hosting on port 80, but every other port I tried worked. I've heard of other ISPs blocking some incoming ports but not others.

vaise 304 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Also, had your isp changed to cgnat? As that would also cause this as you can’t port forward with cgnat. cf with proxy dns ticked will only forward 443 so so all testing with that turned off.

They use CGNAT by default, but I specifically opted out when signing up. That my IP remains the same as what I set up in CloudFlare indicates they haven't changed anything on me. 4 minutes ago, vaise said: cf with proxy dns ticked will only forward 443 so so all testing with that turned off. I'm not sure I follow. If I'm testing IP:PORT then CF settings are irrelevant, surely? Either way, yes, it's currently DNS only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 304 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Cf does proxies only 80 and 443 traffic I thought. Hence turn off proxy until you get comms to your open port working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 304 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Could they have turned cgnat back on by accident or design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaise 304 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Gotta be the port forward is not working then. Have you tried restarting your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusher11 851 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Seems it was an NGINX issue. Resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unisoft 272 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Are the exclusions still similar to: yourdomain.net/*videos/*/* yourdomain.net/*items/*/images/* as when I look in emby's server logs I see paths which makes me think it should be: yourdomain.net/emby/*videos/*/* yourdomain.net/emby/*items/*/images/ Anyone who knows, would be grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 304 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Would that not depend on if you are using subdomains or not ? Mine are : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from testing when these had to be changed with @pir8radio a long time ago now (year back). He ran tests on my system, viewed the chrome debug, and we made the changes i=until the cache was not there for videos, then the files played back immediately. That said - I have swag sitting ready to take over in case I am blocked..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC 25 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I use Cloudflare using a non-cached port so I don't have to wonder. See here in section "Ports supported by Cloudflare, but with caching disabled": https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/network-ports/#network-ports-compatible-with-cloudflares-proxy CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 304 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 That’s fine. But you are not getting any benefit of your emby jpg’s, images etc being distributed to all their end servers so closer to remote users. However when I ran with no caching (just a tick box so no need for a different port), I never noticed much of a difference from the users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC 25 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Yes, I didn't notice much if any difference cached or not cached. Correct, I can tick to un-proxy, but I like to use their firewall features and filter my incoming connection to CF ip's only on my end. It's just another option for those who may not be aware.

CFC I did not mean untick the proxy (very bad), but there is a screen to disable all caching - just a switch on what you want cached. If I think there are CF issues, i click that off, then flush cache and see if any issues still - that's how we found that CF roles slightly changed and the cached files needed updating for emby. But as you say - it really does not seem to make much, if any difference - in the user poll I did. I also swapped to my 'disaster' plan if CF block me - untick the proxy, re-open the 443/80 port forwards (as I use tunnels now) and start up my swag reverse proxy - and still the users did not notice any differences in speed of browsing libs etc. Caching level : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsePDF 2 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I finally got some time to try and move away from hosting Emby directly and use Cloudflare - I came up with something today that serves nearly all requests via Cloudflare, but goes directly for the actual video streaming, which I posted here: This works for me because I don't have restrictions on my home internet connection, if you are using CF tunnels to avoid CGNAT then this won't help - but if you just want to use Cloudflare auth/caching/security then it may be valuable for you.

Nice 1. A bit technical for most - but great nonetheless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
