Connecting Over LAN
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Whenever you are connected the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your Embassy (i.e. the same WiFi network), it is best to access your Embassy's LAN Address (.local URL). LAN connections are fast and secure and do not even require Internet access!
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Your Embassy creates its own Certificate Authority (CA) to establish trust with client devices.

Trust Root CA
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
First instruct your **operating system** to trust your Embassy's Root CA.
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 2
|
|
|
|
lan-os/index
|
|
|
|
Then instruct your **browser** to trust your Embassy's Root CA.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: On a Mac - this is only necessary on Firefox. Brave, Chrome and Safari will already work.
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 2
|
|
|
|
lan-browser/index
|
|
|
|
Access your Embassy LAN Address
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With the Root CA downloaded and trusted by both your operating system and your browser, you can now visit your Embassy's LAN Address (.local URL) over secure https. Any service that offers a LAN URL will also be securely accessible! |
