How to disable UnRaid's dynamic dns?

I moved my working server to my parents place in the country side, and I am not able to log into the Unraid web interface, but have no problem SSHing into the server. I can even specify the port for plex docker and browse my library.

 

A brief glance at the logs seems to look ok.

 

After reading up I think I know the cause and solution.

 

So sometime this year I setup something with Unraid that allowed me to recover my USB should it fail on me. For this it connected my Unraid account to the server and synced settings. I don't know what this feature is called, but one of the things it did was assign my server a unraid subdomain like:

 

https://ca978112ca1bbdcafac231b39a23dc4da786eff8147c4e72b9807785afee48bb.unraid.net/ (Not real, just a SHA256 hash for char 'a')

 

What is happening:

1. I navigate the browser to the server IP 192.168.1.11

2. The browser automatically redirect me to the unraid.net ddns subdomain

3. Browser displays the following error message:

 

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in ca978112ca1bbdcafac231b39a23dc4da786eff8147c4e72b9807785afee48bb.unraid.net.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

 

Why I think its happening:

Since the server is connected to Starlink, apparently Starlink uses something called CGNAT. Basically I can't port forward without having a VPN.

 

What the solution could be:

I have access to SSH. The best way would be to somehow disable the forced redirection from accessing the server with its IP address.

 

If anyone could tell me what commands I am looking for or even has some other ideas to try out I'm all ears.

Connect to the server's GUI via https://IP-Address (Note https not http) (and accept the browser warning that will appear)

 

Then from settings, Management Settings, set Use SSL to be "No"

 

But, you should still be able to even use that redirect/SSL.   Probably all that needs to happen is the DNS record needs to be updated (which you can also do via Management Settings)
