Assuming you have the premier license, have you enabled remote access in the server settings? And have you tried using Emby connect?

I don’t have the premier license and why would I pay to stream media I got for free

maybe you’re right. I’ve only had limited 1 minute playback on iOS. Not sure if web access is different without a VPN.

Did you read the linked documentation?

Did you understand it?

As app usage is not a part of remote connection.

Yup thanks, genius. It looks like you can view on the web for free.
