What issue or error are you experiencing?

Which configuration do it need to implement in the Windows Firewall in order to view my LocalWP from another computer (when I turn off the firewall I can see the LocalWP from another computer but I don’t want to leave it off)?

System Details

  • Local Version:
    9.1.0
  • Operating System (OS) and OS version:
  • Windows Server 2016 Standard

Hi @jsilvag

Are you talking about when using our Live Links feature?

Hi, I’m talking about the LocalWP program, I installed it into a local server and I can see the WordPress webpage from the server itself but when I tried to visit it from a local PC I can see the WordPress only if I disable the Firewall on the Windows Server.

@jsilvag

I’m not sure since this isn’t a typical set up, but in your Firewall settings is there anywhere you can allow Local requests or give it permissions?

I added this to Windows Firewall exceptions and I can see the WordPress page from another PC:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Local\lightning-services\nginx-1.26.1+3\bin\win32\nginx.exe

Thanks!
