I’m a newbie so sorry if this is a problem on my end. I am trying to share my development website with an external client, but don’t seem to be able to get live link to work. I successfully enable Live Link, but instead of showing a link to my website, it displays a link to [one-furniture.localsite.io](http://one-furniture.localsite.io). What am I doing wrong? Thanks. John

_ **Security Reminder** _  
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @John_Z

Enabling Live Link creates a temporary domain to your site that requires privacy mode credentials to access. This is intended so the domain won’t actually match the Local domain of your site when you view it from your end.

> Live Links are a quick way to give direct access to your Local site to anyone on the internet. Using Live Links is a great way to quickly share progress as well as gather feedback from your teammates…
