sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) You need to forward the same port that you see in the dashboard. Have you successfully forwarded through your router? Edited January 16, 2021 by sooty234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodikko 3 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yep, so i have to forward 8069 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 8096 is the default. Did you change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 So you're using 8096 and not 8069? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I ask because you wrote 8069 above. Are you sure that you forwarded the correct port through the VPN? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodikko 3 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Sorry my mistake, it's 8096... I stil have to forward it to the VPN. What do i have to put here?

sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Have you chosen the IP you want to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodikko 3 Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Nop, but I know wich to choose, I just need to know if i have to add both TCP and UDP with 8096 and 8920 or I have to put something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooty234 266 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 TCP 8096, remember the port auth you use. You'll need it to configure the VPN app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodikko 3 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Okkey so, the problem is that I still can't connect on my Emby server. Locally I can, but when I try with cellular data it doesn't work. Now my ports looks like open and I don't understand why I can't connect remotely. (I'm hosting without VPN for now to see if it works without it). Image: https://imgur.com/a/hL9VB3O I don't even know what are those port other then emby, yesterday there was just 2 of emby EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/9p4PJAa why?? That's the same ip I have on Emby for remote access Edited January 17, 2021 by Yodikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1527 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Have you verified that your server's public IP address is what you think it is, using something like WhatIsMyIP? If that is not showing what you expect, you are behind cgNAT, and will need to use the VPN to get a known and consistent address, or maybe ask your ISP if they can take you off cgNAT (some will). Those extra ports are of no concern, but are part of the normal operation of NAT. Paul Edited January 17, 2021 by pwhodges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution pwhodges 1527 Posted January 17, 2021 Solution Share Posted January 17, 2021 The OP has determined that they are behind cgNAT, so they will need to get their VPN going with a known IP. They have reached their post limit here for today, and I don't have the experience (or time, today) to help them by PM right now. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodikko 3 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Sorry for late reply, I reached the max amount of post per day. Anyway I solved, thanks to both @sooty234 and @pwhodges. SOLUTION: I asked my VPN provider to open 8096 port, then added that fixed IP to the VPN software and always connect to that for hosting the Emby server. Then I start the server (or restart if it was already open) and go to the control panel, and connect manually to the remote access ip with the other devices. In this way I can connect with mobile phone + VPN to my Emby server started with a VPN. Thank you guys and thanks to the Emby developers It was simpler than i thought but I never done these things. I use TorGuard, you can open port by going on their site > my services > vpn and then click the gear to the right and ask them to open the port. Then you have to add the fixed ip on TorGuard softwere as shown here: https://torguard.net/article/205/how-to-add-your-dedicated-ip-to-the-torguard-desktop-client.html Edited January 18, 2021 by Yodikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
