Daxter Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) For some reason, even though UPnP is on and working, and the port is forwarded, I still can't remotely access my server. Attached diagnostics too. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! tower-diagnostics-20231017-1228.zip Edited October 17, 2023 by Daxter Quote Link to comment

That potentially opens you up to hackers. The preferred method is to use Wireguard which is built into Unraid or some other sort of VPN. Here are some security best practices. Quote Link to comment

Does it still work natively with Unraid Connect? I like using Unraid Connect and if it doesn't I'd like another answer to this issue. Quote Link to comment

Unraid Connect still provides remote access. I have just never used it because I had Wireguard setup and working perfectly for me before Unraid Connect remote access was an option. I have just never had a reason to use that feature of Unraid Connect. Quote Link to comment

I didn't realize there was an unraid connect section, thanks. Funny story, I still get this error when checking... But I am connected remotely right now.

I previously got the error but was able to connect remotely, now I still get the error but am unable to connect remotely. Quote Link to comment

The issue came back within a week or so of it going away again, but I wondered if upgrading from Unraid 6.11.5 to 6.12.4 would fix it, and it has for about a week now. No idea what caused this, nothing changed on my router so..... Yeah. Maybe restarting the server fixed it? I don't know. Quote Link to comment
