Amazon Lightsail External vs. Internal IP issues

[mdsilvers]

Hello. I've installed my server following the instructions WiKi for my server. My issue is the Jamulus server is pulling my 'internal' IP address instead of my 'external' IP address and I can't connect to my private server. I'm not sure if I need port forwarding, etc to get this to work? See my info below for the server:

My external IP: 3.0.53.164

Server Status:

Hi.

My issue is the Jamulus server is pulling my 'internal' IP address instead of my 'external' IP address and I can't connect to my private server.

The log message is just informational and I don't think the information is used anywhere as long as you are not registering to a Directory server.

I'm not sure if I need port forwarding, etc to get this to work?

For a publicly reachable server, you will definitely need port forwarding in your scenario (unless you want to resort to publishing it to a public directory server), yes.

Thanks Christian. The instructions for Amazon Lightsail did not mention port forwarding, so that is why I am confused.  I’ll try to figure it out.
