Here is a line from my /etc/hosts file…
cat /etc/hosts
192.168.x.x imac
I would like to be able to access syncthing on my imac remotely…
hteeteepee://imac:8384
But I get “This website is not available”.
The workaround I found is to vnc into my mac, and then use a local browser to access
hteeteepee://localhost:8384
But I feel there must be a way to access it directly from my laptops browser, can anyone tell me how?

yes, you can do that - just set GUI Listen Addresses
in settings to computername:port

Or just :8384
or 0.0.0.0:8384
. But beware that this means it’s accessible remotely (that’s what you want) so setting a password and enforcing HTTPS is a good idea.

or if you just want to use the name (local only), add 127.0.0.1 mycomputername
to /etc/hosts
and keep the GUI Listen Addresses
set to 127.0.0.1:8384
