remotely connected via openvpn - local but need it to be treated as remote

[chenks]

This is the log I am looking for.

Code:

[2024-12-12 15:14:51.675 +00:00] [INF] User policy for "chenks". EnablePlaybackRemuxing: True EnableVideoPlaybackTranscoding: True EnableAudioPlaybackTranscoding: True
[2024-12-12 15:14:51.675 +00:00] [INF] RemoteClientBitrateLimit: 8000000, RemoteIP: "141.101.98.214", IsInLocalNetwork: False

As for still being remote when local, you need to enable "NAT loopback" on your router.  This will tell the router to keep traffic local if a URL resolves to itself or another local device.

Your other option is to add custom DNS entries in your router that resolve your URL to the local IP of your jellyfin server.

You will need to add your router as a known proxy for NAT loopback.  That field can support more than one address, comma separated.

You should also check if there is a setting in Infuse to NOT directly access media and to use Jellyfin's playback api.

hmmm, NAT Reflection was set to "system default" for the 2 port foward rules in opnsense for port 80 and 443.
i changed them both to "Enabled" and applied the changes.

tested Swiftin whilst local and it still applied the remote limiting rule to playback.
was the part about adding the router IP as a known proxy applicable to that or just if doing custom DNS entries?
