Connecting a Client

Connect a client to this server with the pairing QR code from the Web UI — or by typing the details in by hand. Everything a client needs (address, port, secret key) is shown in the Server section.

Prepare the server

• Open the Server section and make sure a Secret Key is set; click the dice button to generate one. Regenerating the key invalidates every paired client, which must pair again.
• Expand the QR Code block and choose the Network Interface and IP Version (IPv4 / IPv6) that other machines should use to reach this server.
• If a DDNS domain is configured, you can switch Connection Type to the DDNS Domain so the QR code embeds the domain instead of an IP address.
• The Pairing Preview shows the exact Connection URL (wss://host:port) that the client will dial.
• Clicking the QR code copies an encrypted share string to the clipboard — the clients use it for one-tap autofill.

Desktop client

• Click the server-name button in the title bar and choose Servers in the menu to open the Server Manager dialog.

• Click the + button beside the server list to start the Add Server form.
• If the share string is on your clipboard, a clipboard icon appears in the top-right of the form — click it to decrypt the string and auto-fill Title, Address and Secret Key.
• Otherwise fill in the fields by hand: a display name, the connection URL (wss://host:port, IPv6 addresses in brackets) and the secret key.
• Click Save, then pick the new server to open a session.
