Did you only change the URL from http://127.0.0.1:8384/
to http://x.x.x.x:8384/
? (where x.x.x.x
is your private IP address).
If so, there’s an additional required step. In Syncthing’s web UI, click Actions → Settings → GUI and update the address and port number Syncthing should use. For more details, see Syncthing’s documentation: The GUI Listen Address
And for additional tips and security considerations, just a few of the earlier forum threads:
