    Ah i see, so because its connected to other devices in the sidewalk network, if my neighbor has it hooked up to wifi and mine isnt, it still can connect to the internet.

    Yea that sucks. I hate that. I have “smart” TV that i never connected to my wifi cause i use a pc for streaming.

    Next thing yknow theres gonna be lte modems in these things that they pay to keep on just to spy on us ffs man.








  • ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.

    And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.

    I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.

    Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

    https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/

    https://www.zerotier.com/pricing/

    Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.


  • I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?

    If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.

    I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.

    All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.

    Good luck either way.
