I moved and now I can't access my WAN emby server

First off, I'm sorry if this has been answered 15,000 times but I am at a loss. I moved recently and before I moved I could sign into my emby server outside of my LAN. After moving, my LAN server still works but I can no longer access my server via WAN. My server is on a Windows computer with the LAN IP reserved on the DHCP list on my router and is port forwarded . I know that my WAN IP has changed but I didn't think that would affect anything. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't think that is the case. The only thing that has changed is my WAN IP address which is not in any private address ranges and correlates with the area I now live in.

Does the IP displayed here, match the WAN IP shown in your routers management page? If not, there's something in between, typically cgnat.

If the IPs do match, does this show the port you want as open? (8096, 443, or whichever you've chosen)

If not; there's likely a misconfigured port forward (Could be the LAN IP isn't actually static like you expect; some devices spoof their MAC by default, and this can annoyingly change with updates.) or potentially your ISP is blocking the port you want. (I can't host on port 80 for example, doesn't get past the ISP)
