Remote access to NR

I have 2 instances of nr installed. one on cerbo, and 1 on my windows11 laptop. via chrome i can access my w11 install and work in the editor. trying to access cerbo via http://cerboIP:1880 times out. however, i can access nr via the Vrm desktop install, but the flows are grayed out.


thoughts how to remedy access?

ps i have elevated root access to superuser

cerbo gx

i get the same error changing to 1881 or using https. i suspect something else since i can access via desktop vrm, but grayed out.

yes... as i said i can access it via vrm, but existing flows r grayed out. however, just connected to nr via VRM again, created a new floe and worked fine. deleted "grayed out" flow.

this is the url after going to nr via VRM (weird)

Grey flows can just be because they are disabled.

https://venus.local:1881 does not work for me. only ....localhost:1881 works. is this a clue since url access is diff?

your local DNS resolution, maybe? This could be a problem with your local Router or Desktop setup.

Try the IP of the GX instead of the base-url/DNS Name...if this works, find out why DNS resolution does not.

i use my ip to access the cerbo, not the dns name. thats not working as mentioned above. i can successfully go to desktop vrm and bring up NR without isse. this being the case why cant i access directly, is my big ? .

the above got me thinking.... i am running my laptop on my home net and my cerbo is connected on my rv net. i connected my laptop to my rv net and bamb, i could access nr on my cerbo.

not a big network person so not sure how to resolve this, but seems like i should be able to connect from my home net to cerbo on my rv net. thoughts on how to resolve?

sorry for all lower case, working with 1 hand due to shoulder surgery....so keyboard pecking is enabled.
