Florin 3 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hello, I'm using Emby 3.0.5781.8 on FreeNAS 9.3, if I forward port 8096 on my router I can connect from my windows phone (Lumia 640) and also anyone who know my IP address can connect to server configuration page without any user/password using a simple link like http://IPAdress:8096 If I'm not forwarding port 8096 I cant connect from phone. Is that a security issue or is my mistake configuring something wrong? Thank you in advance! Edited January 4, 2016 by Florin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin 3 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Solved temporary by creating another user and hiding the admin account from the login screen, anyway forwarding port 8096 which allow access to anyone to server configuration page is not normal and should be inaccessible by default. If there is anything more that I can do please let me know. I'm at the begging with Emby and FreeNAS but I can learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3psus 3 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Emby should require all users to log in before granting access to anything at all. Maybe that there is some kind of network configuration that makes emby believe all users connecting to your server is the same person on the local network. Can you verify in "Recent Activity" section of the server dashbord that remote users are registered with different IP addresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin 3 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Is showing only a few messages from yesterday when I was trying and I don't see any related to that, I was calling a friend from another town and he confirmed that the server configuration page appeared after he connected using http://myDNSaddress:8096, he does not have account on my server and he was never connected to my server. I also experienced the same thing using my windows phone with internet explorer as browser and internet service by a different provider (not over wifi).

3psus 3 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I understand. Still, IP addresses might be rewritten during the NAT process and that is why I asked if you could verify that remote connection are correctly reported in the server dashboard. Access your server remotely (from the WAN), and have a look after at the dashboard and see which IP is reported. Is it a real remote IP or your router IP?
