EnvayaSMS may be unable to connect to your development web server if it is blocked by a firewall on your computer,
or if your computer has a IP address that's inaccessible from your phone's network.
</p>
<p>
If your Android phone is on the same Wi-Fi network as your development web server, configure the firewall on
your development computer to allow incoming connections to your web server, then simply enter your computer's IP address
in EnvayaSMS as the Server URL.
</p>
<p>
If you're testing with the phone's mobile data connection, or if your phone and development computer are on different
Wi-Fi networks, the IP address of your development web server is likely inaccessible to the phone.
</p>
<p>
To allow the phone to connect to your development computer, you can set up a reverse SSH tunnel between your
development computer and a server with a public IP address.
</p>
<p>
To set up a reverse SSH tunnel, you can either:
<ul>
<li>use a hosted service like <a href='http://progrium.com/localtunnel/'>localtunnel</a>, or</li>
<li>use <code>ssh -R</code> to connect to your own server accessible from the public internet. For example:
<pre>ssh -R 0.0.0.0:8765:localhost:80 [user]@[host]</pre>
<p>
This sets up port 8765 on <code>host</code> to forward to port 80 on your local development computer.
Then you can use <code>http://[host]:8765/</code> as the Server URL in EnvayaSMS, and it will be
forwarded to <code>http://localhost</code> on your development server.
</p>
<p>
Note: In order for SSH port forwarding to work, you will need to set <code>GatewayPorts yes</code> in the <code>/etc/sshd_config</code> file
on the public server.
