neptunepic 11 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Hello, I'm running beta 4.1.0.2. I cannot connect remotely to the Emby server. Allow remote connections is enabled with default ports. Firewall rules are correct. Port forwarding has been tested and works correctly using CanYouSeeMe.org. Server log attached. Please help! embyserver.txt
Luke 42080 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Hi there, can you please describe the problem in more detail? What exactly are you doing?
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 I'm trying to access the server from my phone. Won't connect. Trying to access the server from my office. No dice. Both of these have worked previously and no changes have been made to the server other than updating to new betas as they are released. What other info do you need?
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 I'm using the iOS app on phone and chrome browser on computer. Regular port 8096
Luke 42080 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 And within those apps, how are you trying to connect?
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're asking. I'm using the native emby iOS app. When I load the app and try to access the server, it says it can't reach the server. This happens via cellular or wifi.
Luke 42080 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 How are you trying to access the server? There are multiple ways that's why i've been trying to find out exactly what steps you took within the app. Can you also try adding a new server by entering the address manually? thanks.
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 As I said, your iOS app. I've tried adding the server manually, same issue.
Luke 42080 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 How did you determine what IP Address to use?
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 I confirmed the external IP via my router admin panel.
neptunepic 11 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 http over port 8096. I think I've found the source of the issue. I use a VPN and for some reason remote access to Emby stopped working with the VPN running. If I disable the VPN it works again. Kinda weird because it was working fine before with the VPN. Is there any special instruction for remote access with a VPN?
Luke 42080 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 You probably need to make sure the ports are open in the VPN, no?
JERRY1 17 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Same issue here vpn on or off can't connect by emby connect or manually, but i can see the server Edited February 22, 2019 by JERRY1
Luke 42080 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Hi there @@JERRY1, I would suggest checking out our Connection Troubleshooter. Please try the steps listed there and let us know which ones succeed, and which ones do not. Thanks !
JERRY1 17 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I triple checked all my settings,went to connection troubleshooter still a no go ,so i wiped the tablet reinstalled emby all is fine again.
