# REMOTE ACCESS

The FLUX Portal is a private local tool, not a public server.

Remote access is handled via Tailscale — a private encrypted network that connects devices without opening any ports to the public internet. Only devices signed into the same Tailscale account can reach the portal. No public IP. No port forwarding. No exposure.

The portal remains accessible from iPhone on cellular, from iPad, from any device on the tailnet — without the portal ever being reachable from the outside world.

Tailscale is free, takes about five minutes to set up, and requires no router configuration.
