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. π€¦π½ββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈπ€¦π½ββοΈ
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.
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!

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.
