First time using the perspective mobile app and unless I’m mistaken do we really need to have the gateway publicly accessible for it to pull in the project to load? This goes against what we had planned as via the web browser we only need to expose the [/data/perspective/client/project] portion to the web.
Is there a way to simply point the mobile app at the project rather than the gateway?
Ignition 8.1
I’m not sure what you mean by expose? The mobile app works on wifi just fine inside your local network.
If you’re asking about exposing it to the internet and you’re stuck on a question like this, I would caution that you probably aren’t the correct person to be making any decisions or configuration changes to the firewalls involved.
Hello,
Do you want people to be able to connect with their personal phones?
If yes, each device need to “see” ignition. The more secure way, is to give a Wifi network for mobile device, and then (with some routing) ensure the connection between the devices and Ignition.
You can give access to internet to the device (if you want), and with a DNS and static routing, give access to ignition.
Edit: Perhaps though I’m mistaken and need to set an additional security zone as part of the gateway config access to limit things. That may have been what I was misunderstanding. I defined a localhost security zone and that removed all access.
