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.

    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?

          We’ll mark you down as having tested 255 then, 1 down, 254 to go!

            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.

              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.

                    You know, I would have looked it up and checked if there were holes on my knowledge but you being a dick about it makes me not want to.

                    Next time, don’t assume the worst in people and you might actually succeed in convincing them.

              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.
