pryoclastic 6 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) My emby runs on a dedicated box for emby so I was curious as to know if it is emby itself that is talking to whatismyipaddress.com: 08:51:57.974337 IP 10.4_._2.31.44462 > 10.4_._2.20.53: 37874+ A? ipv4bot.whatismyipaddress.com. (47)08:51:58.020983 IP 10.4_._2.20.53 > 10.4_._2.31.44462: 37874 1/0/0 A 66.171.248.178 (63) If so, for what reasons? Additionally, within the same time frame it turns around and makes a connection to "connect.emby.media": 08:51:58.116411 IP 10.4_._2.31.42887 > 10.4_._2.20.53: 33092+ A? connect.emby.media. (36)08:51:58.116741 IP 10.4_._2.20.53 > 10.4_._2.31.42887: 33092 1/0/0 A 173.230.139.54 (52) What is this for?

ebr 14960 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi. It is to allow us to show you on the dashboard what your external IP is and also to allow the Emby Connect feature to work (which is basically a dynamic DNS service so you don't have to know your exact IP address). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
