Remote Access Setup

Access C3 from anywhere using secure remote connections.

Remote Access Options

There are several ways to access C3 remotely:

  • ngrok: Easiest setup, works with any network
  • Port forwarding: Use your router to expose ports
  • VPN: Connect to your home network first
  • Tailscale: Zero-config VPN alternative

Using ngrok

ngrok is the recommended approach for most users:

# Start with ngrok
ccc --ngrok-token YOUR_TOKEN -u admin -p password

See the ngrok Setup guide for detailed instructions.

Security

Always Use Authentication

Never expose C3 to the internet without authentication. Anyone with your URL could access your computer.

  • Set strong username and password
  • Use HTTPS (ngrok provides this automatically)
  • Monitor for unauthorized access attempts
