You can enter any internet address which contacts the remote.

1. IP address
• This is the most common option. You can get your IP address from the 'connection help' button on the VLC Remote helper.
• It will be something like 192.168.1.1
• VLC Remote will add the 'http://' automatically and assume port 8080
• If you are on linux, you can type ifconfig in the terminal to get your IP addresses
2. IP with port
• If you want to use a custom port, you can enter something like 192.168.1.1:9090
3. Local address
   • If your local network supports it, you can sometimes connect with a local address like 'myComputer.myRouter'
4. Dynamic address
   • If you have a dynamic address, then you can connect over the internet, though this is likely to be slow and painful
