![]() ![]() There are 5 steps to this but for Emby use I've got pretty much "cut and paste" instructions. This tunnel is created using a single piece of software called cloudflared which is a CLI (command line only tool) that is used to establish an encrypted connection from your Emby Server machine to the Cloudflare Edge network. This used to be a paid only feature but they opened it up to free accounts as well (hence me starting to play with it). Up until this point you are basically doing the same thing anyone would do setting up Emby for Cloudflare use. Now the fun/tricky part and it's a wee bit different depending on OS platform is setting up an Argo Tunnel. We have to convert this cert to the pk12 format Emby needs and install this in Emby. You will be able to setup any type of DNS record you will need like A and CNAME records but we will handle the "emby" sub domain programmatically so don't set anything up specifically for Emby use.Īt this point you can get your own domain certificate from a 3rd party like Let's Encrypt or use a private cert directly from Cloudflare (what I do). In the meantime you can configure Cloudflare with the specific settings needed to work with Emby Server and not abuse their services. This takes from 15 minutes to a few hours to kick in and transfer to Cloudflare. Here's the overall list of steps involved:Ĭhange your Name Servers to what Cloudflare gives you to use. It can be a paid or free domain but you need to be able to change the Name Server for the domain to point to cloudflare. The only requirement is that you need to have your own domain name that you can control. It's not really a secret but I wanted to get some use of this on multiple different platforms first to work out any kinks and be able to support it. I can't find a downside to this method unlike typical VPNs or typical reverse proxy use. I had been testing this personally for maybe 6 months as well. Yes, there are several ways to do this but one in particular that I've I've been testing with a good half dozen Emby users that needed something like this. ![]()
