Connecting from outside of LAN - Zuczek1 - 2025-10-29

Hello,
I have Jellyfin at my home PC and everything works great! Love it. Now I added Meshnet from Nord to be able to watch my Jellyfin from outside home and after easy configuration its work perfect on my laptop and on my android phone.


However I have one question because when I am at home I need to log in into different server IP (192.168.1.XX) - my Jellyfin PC local IP adress, and when I log by Meshnet I have to type different IP adress (This one from Meshnet).
Its any solutions to this?

Best regards and thanks for reply!

I don't know anything about Meshnet or Nord but wouldn't it be using a different IP because it's using an external IP?

Hello, Meshnet its something like Tailscale. Its working out of the box great, but its making a local network between my PC which is with me and my home PC with Jellyfin. However its change IP from 192.168.1.XX to 100.XX.XX.XX thats why I need to use seperate IPs to connect to Jellyfin. Its not a problem but I was wondering that I can make it simpler Smiling-face simplersi ler
