Local connection issues - Macattack022 - 2025-07-22

I cannot connect to the Jellyfin server from anywhere on the internal network except from the server host machine or through Tailscale remotely.

I looked through other threads on here and tried what they said, but it still is not working. 

The only thing that has changed in the last few days is a Windows update and installing a Comet (GL-RM1) from GL-iNet

I am running a Windows 11 PC.


I saw the solution for one of the threads saying to look in the Windows Defender Firewall and I have all 4 green checks


"there are the 4 rules and both Private rules UDP and TCP are enabled"


I don't know what else to do, its just odd that it can be used remotely but, locally it wont connect.

As your firewall rules apply only to the "Private" connections check that your connection is considered "Private" in windows.
