_You can find your local address using `ifconfig` or going to index.ka_

## Remote access behind NAT/firewall

Using [ngrok.com](http://ngrok.com/) you can share access to your servers with others, when running behind a firewall or NAT.

First, follow the instructions to install ngrok, then [register on the site](https://dashboard.ngrok.com/user/signup) to enable custom subdomains.

Then run ngrok with your application name as the subdomain:

```
ngrok http -subdomain app_name 80
```

This exposes port 80 to the internet on *app_name.ngrok.io*. **Use at your own risk: all of your web hosts are accessible on this port while ngrok is running.**

## Access using HTTPS

You can also use HTTPS to access your servers `https://<app_name>.ka`.
