chrisrobbins1970 14 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) How can I setup DDNS (no-ip.com) for remote external access? I have the host created. I put in the host under external access on the synology. Under External domain on the emby network I also added the host name. Under the dashbaord it shows for extneral Remote (WAN) access http://(hostname):8096. I have also added the HTTPS on the router for port forwarding. I can access the server remotly using the public ip address but not using DDNS. What am I missing ?

Q-Droid 653 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Let's assume that by hostname you mean the fully qualified domain name you got from no-ip. Is that domain resolving to your public IP address? nslookup <domain> or ping <domain> DDNS needs a method to update the IP should it change. Can your router or Synology box do this? The IP address can be updated manually until you get the updater configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattl1979 2 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I set up a DNS name using DDNS/No-IP and then set up my Asus router to use it. In Emby, I set the full DNS name, i.e. customdomain.ddns.net, as the External Domain under Network. Finally, I port forward the Emby HTTPS port from my router to my NAS. Make sure you have a trusted SSL certificate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Droid 653 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 You should remove your URL from the first post, it's going to a valid Emby server login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisrobbins1970 14 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 I have the host setup on my TP-LINK router and its successful. Also port forwared the 8920 for the synology. On emby I added the host to the external domain. but still not connecting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 653 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Are you trying to connect with HTTPS on port 8920? You need to configure Emby with SSL (TLS) for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it the "No-IP Vital Encrypt DV". In terms of the CSR, getting the certificate in the right format, etc., I believe there is an FAQ somewhere.

I believe you have options on the platform like DDNS service that can update no-ip, built-in reverse proxy and the ability to obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt. As far as I know they are free.
