Can't connect my laptop to a blockchain

Question

Hi, I set a blockchain in a digital ocean vm and I want to do local development from my laptop without starting a node, I have this in the .conf file but it doesn't work.

server=1
listen=2
rpctimeout=10
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=107.170.243.105  // another vm that does work
rpcallowip=192.168._*_ // laptop ip

thanks for your help

Answer 1

A 192.168.x.x address is an IP address for a private network, so it cannot be the IP address that your laptop appears with, from the perspective of this server. Try going to http://www.whatismyip.com/ from your laptop to discover its public facing address (which may well be that of the router your laptop is behind).
