ATCRS Posted October 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2020 hi - i have an issue with access to my server from outside of my lan. all the port forwarding is done and there is access to m emby server - however it will not stream without buffering at anyything above 144kb/s. Its not just video buffering, the hhome screen art takes ages to load too - as do all the backgrouund images etc. ive ruled out my ISP throttling by creating a second server on my windows laptop and it behaves as expected - using the same media files initially, it was suggested that i uudate my version of emby as it was quite old - but never updated as it was running in a docker. i have since {today} downloaded and installed the latest version - that is not ruunning inside a docker but am still experiencing the same issues. using video station gives the same ultra slow response - yet all is good from within the lan. I may be totally wrong - but my hunch is that xpenolog somehow restricts data to the internet {hiding itself from synology?} could someone please point me in the right direction? and be gentle with me - i can cope with windows buut this O/S is a struggle thanks in advance Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no attempt to hide anything at all. The FAQ recommends not using Synology cloud services for this reason. Plus, how would Synology know it was talking to the Internet? All it knows is a default gateway which is on your LAN. The only thing that knows about the Internet and port forwarding is your router. I'd check your network settings very carefully on DSM and your router. I've seen weird things like this when the network masks are mismatched.

bearcat Posted October 26, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 26, 2020 Just a quick-tip: disable UPnP on your router, it sometimes causes problems, and it is a security risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
