Just switched from Plex… but might be going back lol. Http:/localhost :8097 works on my PC where my JF server is hosted. But I can’t connect on any other devices on the same network. What I have tried:
-
enabled private connections in Windows Defender. Then tried public too.
-
went to settings and binded address to 0.0.0.0
-
changed my port from 8096 to 8097 just to see if a different port would work.
-
Made an inbound rule for port 8097 in advanced firewall settings.
Not sure what’s going on here. On Plex it was easy to discover other devices on the same network. I have JF localhost connected to my Cloudflare Tunnel and I have access on all of my devices that way… but I rather just use my internal ip when I’m at home. Any help?
UPDATE: Literally been at this for hours, and as soon as I post the question on Lemmy…I figured it out. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
On Windows, I had to go to settings > networks and internet > and select private network. Don’t know how it was on public. Smh. I’ll leave this here just in case anyone else has the same issue.
Gotta censor out those local IP's
Kind of new to selfhosting. Didn't know any better 🤷🏾♂️
I was going to comment this, that's so cute.
I wasn't sure of the word. Cute is very good to describe this!
No problem. One more tip though: If you ever censor your public IP, don't just censor the last two digits. Otherwise it will be easily brute-forced.
Good to know
I always chuckle when I see someone censoring an internal IP. It’s like intentionally not naming the room you’re in (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc) when you’re on the phone so the person on the other end can’t find you on a globe.
If we pull in a team effort we can all collectively try 1 to 255 for the last octet and download all the money from this man's bank account and split it between us what say?
I'm in. We just need 253 more people
I'll cover the gateway to make sure they don't sneak off to another net.
Isn't 255 the broadcast address?
We'll mark you down as having tested 255 then, 1 down, 254 to go!
Depends on the network mask.
The 192.168.x.x IP range doesn't allow for subnet masks greater than 255.255.255.0. How that's enforced I can't remember, but I'm 99% sure he isn't using larger subnets.
The 192.168.x.x IP range doesn't allow for subnet masks greater than 255.255.255.0
This is nonsense. In that space you get a /16, and you can do with it whatever you want.
No it's not. 192.168.x.x is a reserved class C range which per specification is limited to 255.255.255.0
Stop sprouting that kind of bullshit.
Class based networking has been obsolete for 3 decades now - and RfC 1519 was quickly implemented, so pretty much by the mid 90s any device looking up network masks by classes could be considered some broken legacy device.
RfC 1918 - which allocates the private IP ranges - came 2.5 years after the introduction of CIDR, specifies the networks in bit notation, and only references what the equivalent networks were in class notation as reference for people who have been asleep for a few years.
The .x.x literally shows that you can fit a /16 (255.255.0.0) in there. 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
No, that's a placeholder a set. It's a class C range which is limited to 254 hosts.
Are you sure he's using 255.255.255.0 network mask though?

To be clear, my comment wasn’t meant to be mean spirited.
Y'all been coming at my neck about this ip address thing. I had to check to make sure I wasn't back on reddit 😭

Great Bot!
I hade the same issue recently when I tried jellyfin server on my windows PC. In my case the private/public Windows Firewall setting was not successful.
But what helped was to open the windows firewall settings and to allow jellyfin do access the privat/public network. You can access the setting by opening the "allowed apps" section in the windows firewall settings.
Maybe this helps some other folks in the future 😊
You don’t need to put in the effort to hide those IPs. An IP starting with 192.168 is a private network and virtually useless as any way to compromise your network - an outsider would need access to your network (via your modems public facing IP) and know the device access credentials to make any use of the IPs.
That being said, it appears your input devices are unable to connect because they can’t be found. That means a mismatch in network details somewhere. Check the IP address and confirm it’s using the same subject; does the device connecting use the same 192.168.1.x network as the input/source device?
No I have his ip and now I will hax!!!
Most of the time it would be DNS 😆, glad you figured it out, I have been in your situation before. Just a heads up! Cloudflare TOS does not allow video streaming unless you are a paid customer, they could ban you if you stream a lot through CF. I got away with less than 4GB per month.
Yea, I doubt I'll ever use my Cloudflare ip address unless sim out on vacation. Internal ip 99% of the time.
Regarding your edit and public vs private network:
Windows really likes to do that.Tbh: As soon as I read it, I was assuming it was Windows Firewall related.
Windows is literally the worst. I hate it!
Not like you could misconfigure Linux distros, right?
It never happened and if it did it was not on my computer. And if Linux refuses to boot after I edited grub.cfg it was not my fault!
/S
I've had firewall rules on Linux cause all kinds of issues too, it's certainly not just windows.
I use Windows 11 and Wsl 2 for Ubuntu and Docker. Best of both worlds. There's a few things keeping me from completely switching to Linux.
