    I completely agree, I am puzzled by it myself.

    I am using No-IP Dynamic Update Client to check my IP on the Jellyfin server laptop and have a domain name set up through No-IP. I am currently not running anything like that on the Mullvad VPN laptop.

    For a bit of backstory, I originally had Jellyfin running on Laptop A. I have since moved Jellyfin to Laptop B, and then on Laptop A, I removed Jellyfin, removed Caddy, and removed the No-IP Dynamic Update Client, and then installed Mullvad VPN.

    Is it possible that my ISP is disabling remote connections to my server because of the VPN now? That is my only thought here. I have tried to do numerous things (adjust port forwarding, DNS flush), but no resolution. I am not sure if maybe I need to re-adjust my port forwarding perhaps?

    And also for more context too, Jellyfin will still allow remote connections even if Laptop A is online, but only when the VPN is not activated. So I can still surf the web, etc. on Laptop A, and Jellyfin will still be operating correctly on Laptop B, but as soon as I activate the VPN on Laptop A, then Jellyfin will not work for remote connections (again, I checked this through my mobile connection to ensure I am not connected to the WiFi).
