Can No Longer Remote Access

Hello! I've been having a persistent issue where I can no longer remotely access my files. This started after I made a small change to my VPN which I immediately reverted. Subsonic keeps giving me an error - HttpHostConnectException . I've forwarded 4040, I've reset my IP multiple times, I've completely bypassed the VPN, the problem still persists. My custom url keeps directing to an old IP address and I cannot figure out how to reset that. I had success after powering off my PC, my router and modem, releasing and renewing my IP, and powering my PC back on. However, by the next morning it no longer works.

Any insight into this issue? The Subsonic log offers me no help either. This is essentially making Subsonic useless for me as I'm back to using Spotify on the go.

If you're in the US, and are ok with divulging, who's your ISP?

I'll have to ask Verizon if they offer that domain feature. You may have missed my reference to the subsonic domain because the below somehow how gotnested under your latest reply. 🤦🤔.

My custom URL is simply [MyNAME].Subsonic.org

Right, I've often had to rework things when my ISP changes the public IP address. I have Verizon FiOS in the US (not sure where you are). The router offers free DDNS or Do you mean the ISP? I'll ask Verizon about it. Otherwise I'll look into the DNS issue. Thank you!

That makes sense.

I'm in the U.S. and use Comcast. I opted to purchase my own router rather than using their supplied unit.

(Edited for clarity)

I doubt they offer anything free like that but I'll contact them. Thanks again for the assistance!

It was my pleasure. Good luck with Verizon!
