OH MY GOD
Edit, to add:
Once I figured out what my modem thought my router’s address even was that worked immediately. Jellyfin is still giving me one minor headache after another but it is working, and these are all issues I can solve.
Now I have the unenviable task of resuming work on ripping literally hundreds of DVDs.
It’s been a little bit, I suspect the issue was getting my modem and router to allow that type of traffic. It wasn’t the firewall. I remember spending a lot of time trying to get port forwarding set up so these fucking things would talk to each other the way I wanted and that’s when I hit the “you can’t do this with your set up try something else” message in the last guide I looked at.
As I recall it was an issue with either my router or the actual modem I got from CenturyLink. I would have to go back and actually try again to get specifics. I right I’d eliminated the router as the culprit but I could be wrong about that, I was going back and forth between them. Port forwarding wasn’t doing anything, there was some issue trying to forward between the modem and router, and from what I remember that’s where I ran in to the “yeah you can’t do this try something else” bit in the guide I’d found.
I was basically never able to see the server I had running on any other device. I’d set up firewall permissions as far as I could tell.
I have spent hours trying to get some kind of server set up, without ever really being able to connect. Eventually in my furious troubleshooting Googlepalooza I eventually found a guide that had my problem addressed in it and it boiled down to “you should find a different way to do this.” I’ve long since given up
Please don’t tell us how to access this magical Dreamland or some people might do something unethical towards the streaming providers.
Nah let’s fuck em up fam.
You know I was setting exactly that meme up when the bell rang.
If you’re going to stick around I’d recommend getting less salt in your diet. Second hand exposure to a machinist is enough salt to shut your kidneys down four times over.
It does have a secure password. The only reason I have that router is I didn’t trust the modem CTL gave me to secure my computer.
