JERRY1 17 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Is there anyway Emby Client can remotely connect to the server without port forwarding ? I'm asking because i saw it connect from my phone and port forwarding is not setup yet. Weird thing is if i turn on vpn it won't connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Emby Server will attempt to automatically setup the port forwarding in your router through a feature called upnp, so that's why it might work for you even though you haven't done anything to set it up. You can turn this off in server network settings if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JERRY1 17 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 No problem,great feature i didn't know about.No need to turn it off, i only do port forwarding with Emby. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1509 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Note also that having upnp enabled in your router is a security risk if you are not aware of it and why it needs to be enabled (it only makes settings which can in any case be done manually, in which case you have more control).
