Different Public Ports

[Borgi 0]

Hello,

I just wanted to setup the external access to my emby server, but with different ports (advanced section).

Now I have 8096 and 8920 as interal ports and 9096 and 9920 as external ports.

A quick check with my public IP and I can open emby with 8096/8920 but not with 9096/9920.

 

When I check it with "lsof -i" inside the linux shell get as output:

mono-sgen 29473                emby   32u  IPv4 9153303      0t0  TCP *:8096 (LISTEN)
mono-sgen 29473                emby   33u  IPv4 9153541      0t0  TCP *:8920 (LISTEN)

But there are no listeningports for 9096 and 9920.

 

 

So, how can I setup different ports for external and internal?

 

Regards

Borgi

Did you configure the external ports in your router as well?

Yeah all ports are forwarded. What I don't understand is, that there are no Listeningports in linux.

When you configure the public ports in Emby, it will not affect listing ports on the local machine. It only affects the remote address that is reported to Emby apps.

 

Does that make sense?

Oh okay, so I can't access my public port 9096 from an external machine, but still have to open 8096 through my firewall to give external access from browser?

Do Emby Apps like FireTV need access to 8096 or is 9096 enough?

For remote access outside your network, the public ports need to be opened on your router and forwarded to the local emby server ports. Does that answer your question?
