Unable to access web app unless using a VPN


Recommended Posts

Based on the uk (I’ve got a few other people to check) 

You can’t access anything Emby related (including web player) unless using a vpn 

 

seems like it’s a dns routing issue

Same, in fact, I cannot access the Emby download, community, etc pages today without using a VPN. Was fine yesterday

It also breaks the handshake when using the android tv app as it doesn’t come up with a pin to enter.

Are you using default DNS providers in your routers settings ?

Are you using the same ISP ?

This is affecting numerous people. Was working fine up until this morning. I got someone to check who is on a different ISP than me and he couldn’t access anything Emby related until using a vpn

it looks like a dns routing issue.

I can access it fine, but I don't live in the UK.

Are you using default DNS settings in you router ?

You can try and edit that to  1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

Are you using pihole or adguard to alter dns ?

Seems like it’s a UK issue - again the only way to access anything Emby related is to use a vpn.

Using the android app on my phone , I can still enter my pin and access my server

Don't you have access to your router ?

Just try changing the dns.

While this would work. The people who need access to my server (I do web seminars) I couldn’t expect them all to change the dns on their routers?

We do, we only posted because we were not sure if it was an issue Emby end or our end. If people in other countries can access, then it is either something affecting the UK, or if we are using the same ISP, an ISP issue

Guess you will have to wait for you ISP to resolve what ever issues they have 🤷‍♂️

I don't think this is a Emby problem.

They do have a support phone number you can all.

Ask about DNS issues.

Yes I know how to change the DNS on my router. 
 

But I shouldn’t have to do this nor can I ask people who aren’t computer literate to either? 
 

Also on Reddit it’s affecting numerous people not just UK - but Ireland as well. 
 

so yes it is an Emby issue. As not all on the same ISP

It's a DNS issue. Just changed my DNS and now it is working

I had it set as automatically assign a DNS

@Neminemthanks for the suggestion

Not a Emby issue as Emby does not route your internet traffic your ISP does.  Any geolocation issues are totally out of Emby's control.
