Multiple IP addresses on PC doesn't work
Quote from paul.blitz on 02/05/2026, 19:26As well as my main IP address on my PC (192.168.30.23), I also use other IPs, such as 192.168.1.23: this is so that I can play with routers etc that have been defaulted.
The problem is that Spacedesk only seems to recognise and use the FIRST IP, and even if I try to connect to my main IP manually (android client), it fails: I guess that Spacedesk is bound to JUST that single IP.
(Yes, if I delete the other IPs, then it will now use my main IP, and devices on my network will connect.)
The solution is simple: the spacedesk host should be listening on all IPs…. if you do that, then you may wish to then allow the user to configure WHICH IPs to listen on.
