 LONEWALKER | What's the difference between the local IP and public IP? | 08:52:19 |

 hobesman#6697 | The public ip applies to your whole home and by default blocks most incoming traffic. It's what you see if you open a browser and search what's my IP.
The local IP is specific to each device in your home and for your server it's what you hopefully will see if you do what I said (open terminal and type ifconfig, then look for the "inet" entry) | 13:38:45 |
| hobesman#6697 | It's kind of like knowing your building number vs apartment number. Knowing just the apartment number only gets you there if you're already in the building. Knowing the building number only gets you to the building but won't be delivered the rest of the way without more information. Right now your mobile is "in the building" so if you tell it the "apartment number" (your server's "local IP") that's enough for a device that's already "in the building" (on the same local network/same wifi).
Later we can work on getting connections "into the building" using tail scale or your public ip or whatever, but first, connections need to be able to get into the "apartment" | 13:44:48 |

| LONEWALKER | Ahhhhhh | 14:08:24 |
| LONEWALKER | Ok | 14:08:26 |
| LONEWALKER | Wait | 14:08:28 |
 noob5678 | That's a cool metaphor | 14:14:35 |
| noob5678 | Or analogue. One of those | 14:15:13 |
| hobesman#6697 | The rule I learned was: if it uses "like" or "as" then it's usually an analogy. | 14:25:57 |

| noob5678 | Funny I learned that as a simile... | 16:19:30 |
| LONEWALKER | So I assume the local IP is the one that starts with 192.168.. | 18:58:57 |
| LONEWALKER | Well I tried that, still it didn't work | 18:59:01 |
| hobesman#6697 | Oh you're right! | 19:18:32 |
| hobesman#6697 | So your phone is on the same wifi, and you put in your phone "http://192.168.x.xx:13378" and it still didn't work? | 19:19:51 |

| hobesman#6697 | Try putting that address into the browser on your computer and see if that works. | 22:28:13 |
