Access JF server on Windows remotely - gquiring - 2023-12-27
** Problem solved **
I'm new to JF. I installed the server on Windows 10. Went through the setup. I made sure that remote access is allowed. I did not turn port mapping. I don't have good access to the server and would like to manage it remotely from the same network on my desktop PC.
I'm trying IPaddress:8096 and it's not responding. localhost:8096 works from the server.

Problem solved, I had to add a rule to the Windows firewall for inbound connections. I'm surprised their installer does not do that.
