MClements130 1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey Community, I'm having a issue with linking up my Emby to my website using the ip address method I currently use Cloudflare as my hosting. Does anyone know if I got to add special domain records to the domain in order to allow it to connect up. By the way I have already allowed port 80 and a range of other ports into my Firewall Incoming Rule. Can anyone help me get it all linked up to my website. Maybe help by providing me a step by step guide on doing it. If any questions please refer to this Community Topic in order to get ahold of me. Thank you Community hope to hear from you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swynol 375 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @@MClements130 i'm using Cloudflare. A few things first. 1. Do you have a static WAN IP or DHCP? 2. Have you changed your Domain registrars Nameservers to Cloudflare? 3. Are you using NGINX or just want to connect to Emby from external? I do have a guide but its on my web server which is having fibre connection issues. The basics are. 1. create an A Record in cloudflare. (something like emby.mydomain.com which points to your WAN IP) make sure it has the orange cloud. 2. on your router port forward 80 and/or 443 - forward external 80 to internal 8096 and external 443 to internal 8920 3. in emby server > Advanced - change your Public HTTPS to 443 and HTTP to 80 4. download cloudflares origin SSL cert. you should get a domain.crt and a domain.key 5. use this site to convert the crt/pem to a pfx (PKCS#12) https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html make sure you set a password 6. In emby server > Advanced. point the server to the PFX certificate and enter the password. 7. Restart Emby. i think that's about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmind11 717 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Why not get the box setup w/o all the extraneous stuff and once that works you can tweak it to work w/ a CDN? It seems like you're approaching this backwards. It's literally a 5 minute process to get this working locally/externally using your assigned ISP WAN IP. At least then you can rule out local deficiencies. Edited January 22, 2018 by mastrmind11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmind11 717 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 ok, then it's more guidance than a bug fix. I will bow out now, since I have no experience w/ a CDN. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pir8radio 1292 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think your main issue is your ISP seems to be blocking inbound ports. Couldn't get it working without Cloudflare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Did you try a selection of ports? ISPs don't usually block all inbound, but some for instance block a mixture of the standard http(s) and smtp ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MClements130 1 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 All ports are in stealth mode and I can’t figure out to fix that a guy from this forum tried to help and we both couldn’t figure out why that is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
