Cannot connect to daemon except from the host

Post by bibyfok »

Hello,

I have installed transmission on Windows with QT version. Daemon is running I can interact with it, with the web page, the QT client or the Remote GUI. However, it is impossible for me to connect to it except from the local host: Any other device on my network cannot see the page (no response) and I have a domain redirecting to my IP for all my services (Plex, Sonarr, Radarr etc) and I am not able aswell to connect to transmission.
To sum up:
  • I have forwarded port 9091 to the correct IP
  • I have edited settings.json to allow remote access (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\transmission-daemon)
  • I can access to transmission from the host thru: 127.0.0.1:9091 / localhost:9091 / 192.168.1.251:9091 // except DOMAINNAME.XXX:9091 --> Does not work
  • I cannot access to transmission from any other device on my network using 192.168.1.251:9091 / DOMAINNAME.XXX:9091
  • I tried to put false on all rpc restrictions but it does not change anything
  • I have no issue with any other service to access the host computer: Deluge/Qbittorent/Sonarr/Radarr/Plex, everything can be accessed from anywhere, especially thru my DOMAINNAME.XXX:PORTNUMBER
  • When I do changes to the settings.json I stop the service first...
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Settings.json file:

Re: Cannot connect to daemon except from the host

Found the issue... I keep my post if anyone has the problem:
During my initial test I suspected Windows Firewall so I first created a rule allowing port 9091: No change. So I removed the rule and added a rule to allow Transmission Daemon.exe --> This worked !
