archiel 2 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I am running an Emby Server on windows 11, have a premiere account and until now everything is running fine. I am looking to move ISP, but the new provider only offers CGNAT for IPv4, it also offers IPv6. Static IPv4 is not a realistic option - large price jump and I would loose all IPv6. My DDNS service supports IPv4 and IPv6. Once CGNAT is switched on, I know I will loose port forwarding on the IPv4 address, but want to know if Emby still work with traffic coming via IPv6 or if I need to consider other solutions. The LAN supports IPv4 and IPv6 and the router port forwarding rules are to IPv4 LAN addresses (ASUS RT-AX88U) Thanks Archiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37362 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Hi, have you looked into VPN options or TailScale? That's usually the solution when your ISP uses a cgnat. Quote but want to know if Emby still work with traffic coming via IPv6 But yes if you did an ipv6 only setup, that will work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiel 2 Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Hi, I am looking at both VPN ( i have WireGuard server running on the router and WG clients on my Nvidia TV Shields) and was considering the possibility of adding ZeroTier to the router - I would need to lookup TailScale, as I have never come across it. BUT, what I am looking for is the simplest (secure) solution, so if it works with IPv6, that would be fine, but do not follow what you mean by an ipv6 only setup - does that mean I would need to remove my current Emby server and rebuild?

Luke 37362 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 By that I meant just without using ipv4. You don't need to reinstall emby server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first time that I have encountered the problem of bypassing the CG-NAT restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
