guandms 1 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hi All, I share my Emby server with my family, and the external IP address keeps changing without a reason. I don't use VPN or anything like that, my Synology server was not rebooted, his IP is static, and I couldn't find any location under settings/network/advanced that I can set it to static IP. This is making the usage really frustrating and my family are not great at tech so it's taking me a lot of time to explain and help them fix this issue on a weekly basis.

kaj 240 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Many, if not most, Internet Providers give you a dynamic external IP address by default. You generally have two choices: 1. Ask your ISP for a static IP address. This may cost a small monthly fee. 2. Use a DDNS service, like https://www.noip.com/, which is a free service. You then would give your parents the new DDNS, as that will stay the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiomixer 328 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Synology has a built in DDNS as well. Control Panel>External Access and choose the DDNS tab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yep, Turn that on in Synology, get your DDNS name and then enter that in the domain field in Emby's network menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
