Hi all,
First time poster here. I have issues accessing my Jellyfin remotely. I'm not very familiar with all this, so I'm hoping some of you can help me out. Of note: my remote access with Plex used to work fine, so I suppose the easiest way to find out what went wrong is something in the Jellyfin settings.
I run Jellyfin on my Synology NAS. I Installed Jellyfin through a docker. I also have NordVPN running on my NAS. This is where I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I have two active network interfaces. and the default gateway is my VPN. The NAS is on a static IP address.
I forwarded port 32400 in my router settings for Plex (TCP). This worked fine, and continues to work. I thought I could simply forward port 8096 for Jellyfin, enable "allow remote connections to this server" in the jellyfin settings, and be done with it. But somehow it doesn't work. I don't have an active firewall on my NAS (Firewall is disabled under the security tab anyhow). I also did mess around a bit with trying to set up a reverse proxy through a let's encrypt certificate. This works in so far that I can now access my synology within my network through the domain that i set up but it does not work remotely. I thought I maybe finished this process prematurely, because i cannot figure out how to gain access to my ssl certificates. But I thought until i figure out this, i should at least be able to access my jellyfin remotely trough the direct port forward?
When I use online tools to see if my ports are succesfully forwarded, all mentioned ports show up as closed. Even the 32400 for Plex while I have remote access just fine. Also when I run command -ano | findstr "LISTENING" I do not see any of the relevant ports show up. This confuses me. One final thing that may be relevant: when i try to access router information on my nas through the remote access tab, I get a notification saying "Your gateway setting is invalid". But again, all this time my Plex is working so something else must be off.
Happy to hear any ideas!
