Connecting Locally
|
|
==================
|
|
When connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your server, you can use its `.local` URLs for fast and secure connections.
|
|
|
|
All clients
|
|
-----------
|
|
#. Ensure your client device (phone/laptop) is connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your server. This usually means your server and your client device are using the same router, either by ethernet or WiFi
|
|
|
|
#. Follow instructions to :ref:`trust your server's Root CA<trust-ca>`
|
|
|
|
If using Firefox (recommended)
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
#. Complete the "Local" portion for your OS. Use Safari for iOS.

On Windows, it is necessary to install Bonjour Print Services in order to access the `.local` URLs of your installed services. In a future release of StartOS, this will no longer be necessary.
|
|
|
|
#. Simply install Bonjour Print Services from Apple: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Bonjour can be unreliable. If your `local` URLs suddenly stop working, you may need to uninstall and re-install Bonjour. Go to `System Settings > Remove Programs`, uninstall Bonjour `and` Bonjour Print Services, re-install Bonjour Print Services from the link above, then restart Windows. |
