Hello,

Firstly, congratulations and thank you to Inductive Automation for the Maker Edition of Ignition! I can’t wait to start developing my home automation system and share with the rest of the community.

I downloaded, fresh installed Maker, created a project based on one of the templates and was able to launch the session on the local computer the gateway is running on using `http://localhost:8088/data/perspective/client/P_Menu_Nav/`.

Unfortunately, when I try as similar address (`http://{ip address of pc running gateway}:8088/data/perspective/client/P_Menu_Nav/`) on my iphone using safari, the page does not load.

Anyone have any ideas?

If this is on a Windows PC, you will likely have to add an inbound firewall rule for Ignition (tcp ports 8088/8043). Then you’ll be able to access it from other devices on your network.

That did the trick, thanks Kevin!

For the benefit of others, this is what I needed to do on my Windows 10 PC:

1. Control Panel -\> System and Security -\> Windows Defender Firewall -\> Advanced settings
2. Select `Inbound Rules` in the left pane then right click then select `New Rule...`
3. Select the `Port` radio button -\> Next
4. Select `TCP` radio button
5. Select `Specific local ports` and type `8088, 8043` -\> Next
6. Follow the rest of the wizard

Oh, just figured out… Its on the Mobile app, need to use Gateway address:8088, select project and it will start working…
