Manage Network

As of 19 March 2025, we have yet to support public IP addresses, but you can still access your computer through port forwarding.

Forwarding Rules

You can manage your forwarding rules by navigating to the "Network" tab of your computer.

Network

Adding a Port Forwarding Rule

You can add a rule by clicking the Add Port Forwarding Rule button, then specifying :

  • The port you want to forward (for example 8000)
  • Some description for your forwarding rule (for example "Blog")

Deleting a Rule

You can delete a rule by clicking on the icon next to the rule you want to delete.

How it works

  • "Internal Port" means the port inside your computer that you want to forward (for example let's say you have a web server hosting your "Blog" website on port 8000, you would put 8000 here).
  • "External Port" means the port that was assigned to your computer.
  • You'll be able to access your port (or your "Blog" website) on http://<your-computer-public-ip>:<external-port>
This is just a workaround

Note that port forwarding is just a temporary solution, we will soon have support for public IP addresses; and you'll be able to allocate a public IP to your computer (and other resources).
