Describe the issue
With recent v2.2.6 release, Android app [v0.9.59-beta] can not connect to the local server over 4/5G through OpenVPN.
All other services all accessible, so there is no issue with OpenVPN or local server hosting the AudiobookShelf.
One useful pointer, if it helps, is if OpenVPN is connected already locally through WiFi and then transitions to 4/5G when away from home, streaming seems to works just fine. But once disconnected, it fails to reestablish fresh connection to the AudiobookShelf server. So, something to do with login/authentication with latest release because this was not an issue with prior release.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Audiobookshelf version
v2.2.6
How are you running audiobookshelf?
Docker
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2022):
With recent release you mean the recent server release right?
Are you able to connect to the server via the mobile browser?
I just double checked the most recent release did not change anything with authentication.
@galaxyfar commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2022):
Correct, the server release. It must be recent because I never had issues in the past when using OpenVPN. But as I'm thinking this through, there was app update last month too, so there is that.
Just tried with mobile browser over OpenVPN, yes, it is accessible, no problem.
Additional debug info, just reverted v0.9.59-beta to v0.9.57-beta. Interestingly, after entering login/server credentials for the first time over OpenVPN, it presented all my audiobooks but once I relaunched the app, it starting behaving same as v0.9.59-beta, "Audiobook server not connected", all the while server is still accessible from mobile browser.
One other thought, my observations are on LineageOS running Android 11 without GSF, if that matters.
@hobesman commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2022):
Perhaps an issue with dns requests not using the VPN? If you can continue a connection but not start one, what other communications are involved with starting a connection but aren't used to maintain it?
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2022):
I'm not sure that this is an issue with Abs but I also don't know what to troubleshoot here.
If you disable OpenVPN and it works then it would seem it is something with your network setup.
@galaxyfar commented on GitHub (Nov 30, 2022):
Good observation. I think you could be right about DNS, as I was mucking around with that recently. But the fact that Jellyfin and Navidrome have zero issues accessing the server that's also hosting Audiobookshelf makes be believe could there is more to it than my local network or DNS. Will poke around more and report back if I find anything interesting.
Thanks everyone for chiming in.
@lincolnep commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2022):
FYI I have this exact setup and I am not having any issues.
I am using ip address and never use dns to access it.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2022):
Will close this until we can find something in Abs we need to fix. You can also join the discord or matrix server that is active and has users with all types of setups.
