Intermittent remote access outages


Recommended Posts

Posted

Back in May, it looked like my domain was broken. I could still connect remotely in the Android app, however that works, but when I entered the domain in my web browser I got either an “Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.” error from my browser or an “SSL handshake failed” error from CloudFlare depending on whether I entered mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com.

I could still get there with my IP address, though I was under the impression something in my NGINX config was supposed to prevent that.

A few days later, having changed nothing, it started working again.

I tried to access my server remotely last night using the Android app, and now that won't work. Entering my domain in a browser gets me a CloudFlare timeout error, entering my IP address gives me a browser timeout error. I have, once again, changed nothing.

I had this issue back in December. I went through a bunch of troubleshooting steps, mostly switching things off in the Emby-NGINX-CloudFlare chain and then switching them all back on individually to see at what point it broke, and...it never broke. So I'm at a loss here.

Apparently my ports are closed. I don't know why that would be? The rules still appear in my router's settings, and I've touched nothing...

How did you determine that they're closed?

A port checking site. 

Rebooting the router has resolved the issue.
