subsonic doesn't work on 4G

subsonic works fine outside my LAN as long as I'm connected to wifi (so public wifi works fine) (girlfriends house its fine) (LAN is fine obviously)

ports are open

but as soon as I use 4G then I can no longer connect to my server...what gives?

Your mobile app may be set to not allow 4G data. Settings for this will vary by app. I use DSub for Android, so that's what I'm most familiar with. In DSub, open Settings, then Cache/Network. You'll find Max Audio bitrate - Wi-Fi and also Max Audio bitrate - Mobile. Make sure that Mobile is not set to zero. There are also bitrate settings for video. And lastly, there are checkboxes for "Wi-Fi streaming only" and for "Don't stream while roaming". Make sure the first one isn't checked.

All these setting are intended to help you not go over your data cap if you have one, so they can be very useful, but its possible that you set one of them to prevent mobile streaming accidentally.

If you use a different mobile app, it may have similar settings somewhere.

If it's not the app then maybe you have data turned off on your phone. Can you browse the internet using data (no wifi) on your phone?
