RE: Unable to Connect from anywhere - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-11
WAN IP, making sure you are using your new address, not your old address.
-->
router with port forwarding for port 8096 to 192.168.X.X address of your Jellyfin server
-->
Jellyfin on Windows with jellyfin.exe allowed through Windows firewall
I'm not sure what else we could be missing.
RE: Unable to Connect from anywhere - LunaCooper - 2024-06-11
Should my WAN IP and my PC's public ip be different? When I search my ip it shows a different ip than my routers WAN IP and before I switched ISP I just used the one that pulled up for my ip.
RE: Unable to Connect from anywhere - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-11
Uhhhhh. That sounds like CGNAT.
When you go here

The IPv4 address should be the same as the WAN IP in your router.

It is not the same, so I guess I'm SOL

Stupid question - but are you able to access jellyfin on the same machine ? If you're not then the problem maybe this
Code:

another workaround might be to get jellyfin itself to listen on port 80/443 ... typically port 80/443 don't get blocked by any ISP.

After wiping the network config I could access it locally on any machine, but if I turned on either or both HTTPS settings with a cert attached, it wouldn't connect on anything.
I just had a tech come by and he confirmed they do in fact use a CGNAT, the tech over the phone just had no idea what I was talking about.
The guy that came by said I could possibly get a static IP for free if I told them I wfh, would that be worth the trouble of doing or would that not fix the issue?
RE: Unable to Connect from anywhere - TheDreadPirate - 2024-06-11
That would fix the issue. Get a static IP
RE: Unable to Connect from anywhere - LunaCooper - 2024-06-11
Thanks, I'll see what they'll give me
