Android app

Regarding the CastleOS Android app: I have a port-forwarding setup so I can access CastleOS from anywhere (not just on my local Wi-Fi), plus a dynamic DNS name service, so I can always connect to my home regardless of the current IP.

But when trying to manually enter an IP address, the app doesn't accept either a named address (e.g. "myhouse.dyndns.org"), or an address with a port suffix (e.g. "192.168.1.1:58141").

Hey Scott, the Android app from the Play store is currently enabled for the auto-configuration only, HOWEVER you can configure CastleOS to your network by doing the following. First, you can uninstall the Play store CastleOS app. Then, open the CastleOS web app from the Chrome browser on Android, using the port/dns configuration you require. Once the login page opens, press the menu button in Chrome (not the CastleOS app), and select Add to Homescreen. This will recreate the app using your network settings. This is the identical app from the Play store, minus the auto-configuration capability.


Thanks,
Chris
