Consistently losing external port assignment

[Bash103 4]

For the past several months Emby will lose it assigned remote https set up and default back to 8096 under http. It will keep the assigned ddns url but will revert to http and the http port. Sometimes just changing the remote access setting under “Network”, saving and rebooting. Then reverting it back, saving and rebooting will restore the correct connections. Sometimes it doesn’t. Wish I could remember the version it worked without issue but I can’t. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, where exactly do you see it reverting?

[Bash103 4]

On the dashboard where it shows the local and remote connection ips/urls.

Every time I’ve been unable ti connect remotely, I get home and look at the dashboard and the remote connection shows http (even though I have it set to require https for remote connections) and using the http port instead of the https port.

I will add that I’m using a custom https port for both local and remote. I have my router set to forward incoming connections on the remote https port to the local https port.

How have you configured emby server network settings?

[Bash103 4]

Yes. That’s where I set up the ports and the SSL. That’s also the settings I was talking about changing, rebooting, reverting change and rebooting that would occasionally resolve the issue. I’ve tried that multiple times today without any success.

What are wanting to know? I changed the local and public https ports. Checked the box to allow remote connections. Gave it my DDNS url in the "External Domain". Provide the path to my custom SSL certificate and set "Secure Connection Mode" to required for all remote connections. All other settings were left at the default.

Then I set up my router to forward all requests to my public https port to the local https port.

If the dashboard is reverting from https to http for your WAN then this point to an issue with your certificate.  Probably need to see a server startup log.

HI, yes a server log would be helpful as well. Thanks.

[Bash103 4]

Thanks everyone!

Checked the startup log and it was the cert. Not sure what is happening. I'm using the DDNS and Let's Encrypt features of my ASUS router. Maybe there is an issue with the auto renew functions. If it happens again, I be sure to check that log first.

Thanks for following up.
