Hi all,
I recently attempted to change the eth0 port on my Pi4 to a Static IP.. All works fine locally (Local LAN), but I can no longer see the Virtual Here server from a remote location.
Even though I have the correct port forwarding etc etc etc .
Anyone have any advice?
Cheers

VirtualHere needs TCP port 7575 open and Auto-Find needs UDP 5353.
If you are using https://www.virtualhere.com/easyfind that requires UDP 443 open
If its not connecting you have some firewall in the way. Note that auto-find wont work over the WAN so you need to manually specify the (external) ip address in the client by right clicking USB Hubs->Specify Hubs->Add
Thanks Michael. I am not
Thanks Michael. I am not using easy find, but have opened ports 7575 (this was working before when using DHCP) and now opended UDP 5353, but still not being the server.
..argh. I thought I'd try
..argh. I thought I'd try easy find but put in the wrong email address and now I can't apply for the trial with the code I pasted...to the correct email address.
I'm having a dumb day.

Sure, ive forwarded that easyfind email to your correct address.
Thank you Michael,
Thank you Michael,
When clicking on that link it opens the Virtual Here page with a dot in it.
Than I tried to enable it in the Server Proprties and it responds with "EasyFind unavailable from this server"
I am sorry to be such a nuisance.
Regards,

If is says easyfind is unavailable from this server it means its physically blocked by a firewall somewhere. EasyFind wont (by design) get through firewalls. Only NATs
OMG ... I thought I should
OMG ... I thought I should post this here, embarrassing as it is.
In all my mucking about, I had replaced the IP address for the remote server, with the WAN Gateway IP Address, instead of the WAN IP Address.
I feel like a complete idiot and apologise for my stuff up.
They were almost identical.
They were almost identical. (no excuse though)

No problem, yes virtualhere just works on 7575 so if that doesn't work its definitely some other network issue
