My ipv4 changed and now I can't access my Jellyfin server from my phone or TV. I did some troubleshooting on my own but so far I haven't been able to find the culprit.
Once I realized my server wasn't working because of the ipv4 change, I opened my router admin panel and updated the port forwarding rules to change the old ip to the new ip. It still didn't work and then I thought maybe the ports were wrong so I added rules with other ports. So now I have 4 entries where I used to have 2. Attached a screenshot of what it looks like now.![[Image: VTSMuyZ.png]](https://i.imgur.com/VTSMuyZ.png)
On my computer, http://ipv4:8096 works and http://localhost:8096/ works. They both bring me to my Jellyfin server.
On my phone which is connected to the same wifi network, I tried both of those in the browser and it says "this site can't be reached". I also tried connecting on my phone from the Jellyfin app and it is unable to connect. I've tried stopping and starting jellyfin as well.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was finally able to figure this out, I needed to go to firewall settings and add a checkbox next to one of the Jellyfin instances and change public to private. Any idea why this might have changed when this used to be working fine?
