Is there a trick to get Remote Access working over the Internet?
I can access the server over my LAN, using server address (192.168.1.2:8096) or (localhost:8096) and it works perfectly.
HOWEVER, if I try to access over the WEB using my Public IP (ie: 22.22.22.228:8096{edited ip address}) it says it can't find the server?
And YES the 8096 port is open and assigned to the correct system in my Router Virtual Servers config. And 'Remote Access' is also enabled in the Jellyfin Server/Host app installed on the system I have hosting my media. And I checked the PortChecker website, which confirms that port 8096 is OPEN on my Public IP address.
I assume the 'Reverse Proxy' stuff is just for added security, so it seems like it should 'Just Work' by using the Jellyfin client on my ipad and accessing using my Public IP with the 8096 extension as the 'Server Name' I'm trying to access?
So what might I be missing here?
