quackpipe 8 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 How does my ISP see my outgoing network traffic? Do they see the actual music titles? Movie titles? and Podcast titles? Or is it just file type information that they see. I have about 15 users. 5 of them are in my house, 7 of them are scattered around the country and a few are in different corners of the world. I'm probably streaming about 10-15 hrs a day to various users mostly HD content. I don't have an SSL cert setup yet and wondering if I should if my ISP is snooping on my data. Thanks!
mastrmind11 717 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Encrypt your server. THey can see everything sent across the wire that ins't encrypted.
darkassassin07 515 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) As long as you have setup HTTPS for your remote access, your ISP and anyone/anything else monitoring that data transmission can see X client is connected to Y server, and roughly how much data is being sent back/fourth. The actual data itself is encrypted between client/server, so they can't see what exactly is being sent/received, just roughly how much data there is. Edited December 28, 2019 by darkassassin07
quackpipe 8 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 Thank you both. To enable HTTPS I need to do that whole SSL cert setup, right? My buddy just got Plex and apparently it’s just a checkbox to enable ssl on that system.
Happy2Play 9060 Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 With Emby you have to setup your ssl configuration as it is your server. Where the other guys, you are login into their server not yours.
quackpipe 8 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 Last question if anyone has experience setting this up, will I need to forward that secure port (8920) to my router? Similar to how i setup 8096?
quackpipe 8 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 Never mind. All good. SSL and HTTPS configured and everything working great. Thanks y’all.
quackpipe 8 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 Another question. When I sign in from https://emby.media/ "sign in" button my browser says it's "Not Secure" But when I'm signing in from my subdomain i've created the SSL certificate is recognized and it's secure. Does traffic routed from emby.media not call the SSL certificate? What about traffic from the IOS or android apps? I thought I turned all remote access requires a secure connection. Does any of this make sense?
Luke 38500 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 It does, but since you have https setup you should use https version of the online web app at https://app.emby.media
Q-Droid 803 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Now that you're enabled on HTTPS you should disable the forwarding for port 8096.
quackpipe 8 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Boom, Thanks Luke. Q-Droid, I still need 8096 locally, right? EDIT: Oh wait, but I can remove the routing on my network. Got it. Edited February 25, 2020 by quackpipe
