Testing Xojo web on my own computer

Hello there,

I’m testing Xojo Web. I made a simple apps that’s run on my computer. How can I access to my app from another computer via the world wild ? Did I need something to configure to open my Mac and my localhost to the world ? Maybe an external service ?

Thanks

You will need at least:

  • dynamic dns configuration (to make a named url point to your internet router ip), this will make it easier to you to connect always using somename.dyndns.org:8080
  • configure your router to map ports from the router ip to your computer ip (for example port 8080)
  • make sure your router/computer firewall is configured to allow those connections

not sure if I missed something.

If you want to connect to your computer (only you or some people you need to add) then you can use a service like Tailscale to create a VPN network.
