iirc, the desktop app can only listen on localhost. If you want to expose the desktop app to other devices you need a setup a proxy. Or you could use docker or the cli package to host the server which would be better in the long run.

@MikesGlitch Can you confirm?

@MikesGlitch Can you confirm?

Yeah, this was a deliberate choice. If you want to do more advanced networking you can still do it outside of Actual.
