Thanks for following up.

@Lukenot sure if what I came across across right way to do it. It has worked for everyone except I have a user on a fire stick who said the app wont let her leave the port blank

Okay I just had a breakthrough. I had the user that required a port. I was reading an old post and it said to use 443 in the port. Worked for them

@SemicolinDo you think you could tell me a little bit about what you got to work and how? If you have managed to solve my original issue it i might end up doing the same.

Hola a todos,

Espero que alguien pueda ayudarme, soy nuevo en esto y he estado solucionando varios problemas durante días.

He configurado un túnel de Cloudflare para mi servidor Emby y puedo acceder a él remotamente usando la dirección web que creé (p. ej., https://media.mydomain.com). Sin embargo, no puedo usar esa misma dirección para conectarme a mi servidor a través de la aplicación Emby.

Seguro que me falta algo sencillo, pero me he topado con un obstáculo. Mi objetivo es configurar el acceso remoto para que mis familiares y amigos puedan usar la aplicación Emby para conectarse a mi servidor.

Esto es lo que he hecho hasta ahora:

• El túnel de Cloudflare está en funcionamiento.
• La dirección web funciona bien en un navegador para acceso remoto.
• Intenté ingresar la misma dirección en la aplicación Emby, pero no se conecta.

¿Alguien sabe qué puedo estar haciendo mal o tiene algún consejo para solucionar este problema?

¡Gracias de antemano por su ayuda!

Hi there, please check out our quick start guide:

Having the same problem here. I can access via browser, but not through the android app.

My guess is that something in the Cloudflare settings is preventing non browser traffic. I'm new to Cloudflare, so going to poke around the interface and see if anything stands out as potentially blocking the Android client.

HI, you may want to look at these topics:

OK, I have found the problem. It's the OTP default authentication in Cloudflare. Works fine accessing Emby in a browser, but with OTP on, all connections from apps that I tested just show the "Unable to Reach Server" error shared earlier in this thread.

Not sure if there is a plan in place for non browser apps to support OTP login to CF tunnels. Would be nice to have that ability for added security, but I'm not sure what all that would entail.

Additionally, since it drives me nuts when people reply with a "found the problem," but don't share the solution:

1. In your CF dashboard, go to Zero Trust > Access < Policies
2. Select the policy name, likely the default Allow Emails policy, select the three dots menu > Configure
3. Under the Action dropdown, select "Bypass" and the selector under rules to "Everyone"
4. Click save in the bottom right corner.

You can now log into your Emby server using non-browser clients or Emby Connect. Please note that you are exposing your Emby login page to the world, so follow best practices. Don't show usernames on the dashboard, hide admin accounts, etc.

Cloudflare tos are change?!? They permit video traffic now? Is a great news if it's true! For people who are behind cgnat and isp don't have ipv4 or ipv6 option like me in Italy with my fiber isp, is very good to know!
