Hello everyone , im having problem to connect from my PC ( Ethernet on my primary router ) to my server ( Ethernet on my secondary router)  
My secondary router is connected WAN to my primary , i think that actually i should see and operate on my subnet but i cant connect to my start9.local.  
On Tor everything works well but i would prefer local connection. Here there is the scheme of my connections. What can i do ?  
Set Rete  
Primary router → 192.168.1.1  
My PC | → 192.168.1.75  
Secondary router | → 192.168.1.99  
Start9 | → 192.168.99.191

So i want to see start9 GUI from 192.168.1.75 to sub net on second router 192.168.99.191

Thank you and have a nice day !

In order to connect to your StartOS server on it’s .local address, you should be connected to it on the same exact network from your PC.

Take a look at the instructions for setting this all up here: [Start9 | Connecting Locally](https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/user-manual/connecting-lan#connecting-locally)

Ah okay, I was thinking that since it’s actually still a LAN, just under a different subnet, there might be an easy way to communicate. But if that’s not the case, I’ll go with TOR. Thanks anyway 🙂

.locals typically don’t traverse a any sort of network boundary. They’re both a local area network, but not the same local area network, from a logical standpoint. In the next release of SartOS, you’ll be able to access your server based on IP, and port. But you’ll still need a network setup that routs between subnets.

We can’t specify a date, but we are in the final stages of Alpha testing. Will move to public beta shortly.
