Accessing GUI from an external IP

[Schimon]

Greetings!

I am new to Syncthing and I am still testing it.

On every installation, I have notice that the only connection allowed to HTML GUI is the device itself (i.e. 127.0.0.1), until Credentials are set.

Now, I have installed Syncthing on an external machine to which I access via SSH.

At first, I have connected via Lynx which is a text-mode web browser running inside that machine, but Syncthing HTML GUI requires JS, So I was not able to setup anything.

And so, I was not able to connect to it from an external machine.

I then setup credentials with the following commands.

syncthing cli config gui user set NAME
syncthing cli config gui password set PASS

And I am still unable to gain access.

Please kindly advise,

Schimon
