You install hamachi on the server where emby is running. Thanks to him you could create a virtual network with dedicated ip. Then with other device, you must use a client to connect to your virtual ip and you could access to your server. You just need to open correct ports to access to emby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution msqwertylaboeuf 10 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Of course. For anyone in a similar situation to mine looking for a solution to CG NAT 1) Download Zerotier on your Emby Server Platform here: https://www.zerotier.com/download/. I downloaded the Windows installer and installed zerotier on my PC. Setup is pretty straightforward and self explanatory. 2) Download Zerotier on your clients too. I needed remote access on my smartphone, so I downloaded the android app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zerotier.one. Apps for all clients are here: https://www.zerotier.com/download/ 3) Create a ZeroTier account. It's free. Activate your account with the activation link in the email ID you used to register. 4) Go to https://my.zerotier.com/ and log in to zerotier using your account credentials. 5) In the top right, click on the networks tab. Click on create a network. A network is automatically created and added to the Your Networks list. Note the network ID(16 digit). 6) Open the Zerotier application on your server PC. Click on the icon in the taskbar. Note the first Node ID(10 digit) here. Click Join network. Enter the network ID(16 digit) and click join. Similarly open the Zerotier app on your client device. Note the second Node ID(10 digit bottom left) here. Click on the Add Network icon in the top right, and enter the network ID, then press Add Network. Flip the slider to connect. 7) Back in the browser, click on the network ID to open the network configuration. In the Settings section under the Advanced subsection, under 'Manually Add Member' enter the 2 Node IDs noted in step 6 one by one, clicking submit after each entry. 8) At this point Zerotier setup is complete. In the browser under the Members section note down the IP address of the server PC, then open the emby app on your client and click on Add Server. Enter the IP address in the host text box, port should be 8096 by default, press connect. Log in to your user account and you are good to go.

msqwertylaboeuf 10 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) @Midaz I'm afraid if there isn't an app for your OS on zerotier.com, they may not be offering one. But if you can get a cheapo android box/dongle, you can install Emby and zerotier on that Edited November 29, 2020 by msqwertylaboeuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordlover 102 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Huge thanks to @msqwertylaboeuf - to have occasional access to my music library from outside my home network, ZeroTier is a simple solution, these instructions are clear and perfect, and I don't have to figure out SSL or forward a port or otherwise open an insecure hole in my network. Thanks so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you SO MUCH for this guide, I finally have remote access working perfectly! One additional thing I discovered, regarding your 'step 8' - if you add the Zerotier IP address of the server PC to the 'External Domain' field in Emby Settings - Network, then you don't have to enter this IP when connecting from remote devices, you can just login with your Emby Connect username and password, and it will automatically connect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
