Remote connectivity troubleshooting; Help requested


Recommended Posts

Posted

I recently moved my computer. It was working just fine at the old location, but now I can not get any remote connections to work (lan connections work).

I've already taken a look at the connectivity section.

My domain does point to my current ip address, and I've confirmed the necessary ports to be open.

Apps don't connect, browsers just load for a while and say they couldn't connect.

 

What more can I do to dig into why this is happening? I've reached the end of the standard self-help guide.

Best guess is something with your domain setup.  Have you tried a connection to your WAN IP address:8096 as it appear to be working.

Try going to canyouseeme.org and test to see if it finds your ports open or not.
Let us know these results.

It started working recently. I had tried canyouseeme.org though.

I believe it was something screwy with my computer in general, I've been having to restart it to get games to connect/play properly. Maybe something was messed up with emby. It's odd that it just now resolves itself though. I have restarted my PC and emby before to try and resolve it.

I do keep repeatedly getting new SSL certificate requests on the app, like 3+ at a time, one after another.  That's the only thing that's still off.

Trying to connect from my PC over WAN (not localhost) doesn't seem to work, but it works from my phone's web browser. Idk its a little screwy but works. 🤷‍♂️

If you know how to check you can see if you need IP6 (likely don't) and uninstall this from the Network Adapter which may help.

You can't access your WAN IP address unless your router supports loop back addresses. Some do, some don't.  So this is pretty normal and nothing to worry about.
