Chromecasting outside network

[podrae 3]

Hi All

Ive been reading threads for a number of hours about this issue and believe I know why its not working for me but unable to fix. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have Emby running on a Windows server behind an Nginx proxy which itself is behind a Sophos firewall. As you have probably guessed Chromecasting only works locally and not externally. I believe this is due to Emby logins showing connection from the Proxy IP and not their external one so therefore treated as local users (they can control local lan chromecasts)

I have the X forward sections in config, SSL is handled by Nginx

Ill past my Nginx and Emby config below.

##EMBY Server##
    
    server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
listen [::]:443 ssl;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

#Next three lines allow websockets

proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
    
}

Guys I have resolved the IP issue. Not sure if Chromecasting is fixed yet or not but it was my firewall at fault rather than Nginx in the end.

I had a loopback NAT rule above the normal Nginx rule so that my domain names worked internally. This has source address set to masq. If i dropped this below the main rule then IP addresses are being correctly logged by Emby.
