Emby on VPS and Cloudflare - exposes real IP

[horstepipe 422]

Hey

@@Luke you always advice to not make a change in Settings -> Advanced -> bind to local network address.

But if you're running Emby Server on a VPS behind Cloudflare, it exposes its real public IP address with this public information

https://embyserver/emby/system/info/public

it shows these values

LocalAddress	"http://REAL-SERVER-IP:8096"
WanAddress	"https://domainname_protected_by_cloudflare.com"
ServerName	"xx"
Version	"3.6.0.61"
OperatingSystem	"Linux"
Id	"xxx"

The only way I found to prevent this leak is by entering

127.0.0.1

into the "bind to local network address" field.

Guess this is not the best solution as it could break something?

Any ideas?

This is exactly how to do it..   Since all connections are remote anyway it doesn't break anything..   You are probably still leaking your ip elsewhere though..    not through emby.
