Remote Access (WebUI)

After reading this page you will be able to: enable WebUI remote access, log in via local network or public tunnel URLs, and use AIPC UP from external browsers.

1. What Is WebUI Remote Connection

WebUI provides a remote entry point while the AIPC UP desktop app is running. You can access the local workspace from a phone, tablet, or another computer on the same network, or enable a public URL when needed.

2. Enabling WebUI and Port Configuration

Entry: Settings → Remote Connection

Toggle “Enable WebUI”: Turn on the switch at the top of the page to launch the embedded web server.
Configure Port: The default listening port is 25808. If needed, customize the port and save to avoid conflicts.
Allow Remote Access: Check “Allow Remote Access” to let devices on the same local network or public proxies reach the service.

3. Four Access Methods and Authentication

Once enabled, the system provides 4 flexible ways to connect from mobile devices and secondary computers (see Mobile & Remote Access for details):

Official AIPC UP App (Recommended): Install the official Android client, scan the QR code with the built-in camera for one-click pairing, and enjoy saved host reconnect and low-latency full-screen touch control on Screen Wall;
Phone System Camera QR Scan: No installation needed—simply aim your iPhone or Android native camera at the QR code on screen and tap the banner to enter without passwords;
Mobile Browser “Scan QR”: Use built-in scanner tools in Chrome, Safari, or other mobile browsers to scan the QR code and connect in seconds;
Manual Address & Password Entry: On tablets, remote office PCs, or devices without cameras, enter the network address (http://192.168.x.x:25808) or view your public address directly under Remote Connection (Example: https://huiai1022.huiai.co), then log in with your credentials.

Account Credentials and QR Code Management:
- Initial Password: Automatically generated upon first launch. Click “Change Password” to set a custom secure password;
- Dynamic QR Code: Features an expiration countdown and single-use anti-replay protection. Click “Refresh QR Code” anytime to issue fresh credentials.

4. Public URL and Relay Tunnel 🆕

View & Enable Public URL: Turn on the switch in the “Public URL” card, then view your public address directly under Remote Connection (Example: https://huiai1022.huiai.co).
Traffic and Quota Monitoring: Displays the public connection status and consumed remote traffic quota.
Connection interruptions: The service may retry the connection, but continuous availability is not guaranteed. Retry later and check the status if it disconnects.

5. Remote Display Monitoring (WebUI Screen Wall)

Once connected via WebUI, you can view the live desktop screen of your host computer at any time:

Quick Entry: Click the Screen Wall icon in the left sidebar of the WebUI (or switch to the “Screen Wall” tab in the right preview panel).
Lightweight & Low Bandwidth: Instead of heavy remote desktop streaming, Screen Wall uses lightweight JPEG snapshots (with selectable intervals: 1s, 3s, 5s, 10s), allowing fast inspection even on mobile connections.

6. Security Checklist and Best Practices

Strong Password Policy: Always update the initial random password to a robust custom password under “Account Info.”
On-Demand Activation: Disable the WebUI switch or public tunnel in Settings when remote access is no longer needed.
Public exposure: A public URL exposes your WebUI to external access. Enable it only when needed and disable it when finished.
Credential Protection: Public URLs and login QR codes provide sensitive access; never share or post screenshots publicly.

How to Verify Success

Enabling WebUI in Settings displays valid Local, Network, and Public URLs with active status badges.
Accessing the Network URL or scanning the QR code on a mobile browser loads the WebUI login page and grants workspace access.
Remote prompts and file changes sync in real time with the host desktop client.
Opening “Screen Wall” inside WebUI smoothly displays live snapshots of the host display.
