i have downloaded and installed cider on my iphone, connected via the help menu and everything is fine. i see the red dot in front of the PC and the phone is visible on the desktop app as well, but what next, how do i access the UI? i don't see any controls.
apologies if it is a truly dumb question but i just can't seem to figure it out.

You need to pair your device as a WAN device, your network isnt suitable for local usage due to network restrictions or other rulings set on your router.

goddamn
i thought this was a local connection so it didn't matter, just to confirm is this my ISP's double-NAT biting me again?

its possible yes
depending on how your PC is setup and or plugged in
WAN should mitigate it as we use a special tunnel to make it happen rather than a generic port forward

That's why i have to either use zerotier or cloudflare zeroturst to access my server from outside my network
opaque coral
double NAT is no fun
modern monolith
and you are correct, it is working fine with WAN
worst part is i can't even pay premium to get por-forwarding, they just straight-up don't allow it
opaque coral
Yeah thats pretty typical with cable especially
modern monolith
or i can get a corporate connection

Maybe should look at the FTC broadband map to see if you have fiber in your area that you may just not know about (if you're in the US)
All service providers legally have to disclose where cable and fiber is established so if they're making strides in your area you'd know.

i'm in india i do have fiber at my home, there are 4 fiber operators in my area.
airtel and jio (i have the later one) don't provide port forwarding
local fiber: they don't have good service, lines keep breaking and bs like that
opaque coral
Ah, interesting
Must be just the general state of corporate corruption and what not down there.

i've had next to no downtime on my jio connection except when a tipper truck literally ripped a line down the street
opaque coral
I hear about it a lot.
modern monolith
it def is, also most people don't care
computer usage has plumetted over here ever since the "4G revolution" back in 2016-18
opaque coral
I believe it
modern monolith
well, thanks for the help tho
i was about to lose my mind, swiping every which way try to get the UI to load up on the app 😭
opaque coral
No problem.
modern monolith
the tunnel closes automatically tho
