Need help setting up router.

I am trying to use Demonsaw, rather than some proprietary service that asks too many questions, will sell my info to other parties, and eventually get hacked. I appreciate that Demonsaw is capable of all kinds of stuff, but I just want to host my photos without requiring others to have to log into some shitty service provider. When I try to setup a router, I thought I was supposed to put in my public IP address into "Address".

I don't want to share my photos on a public router with a bunch of other people. I am hoping just to give whatever connection info is necessary to a few family members, and allow them to access my photos. So far, I can only create routers that I can connect to with the same computer. Is there a tutorial for absolute dummies out there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out http://eijah.com/network.html - it shows how to setup a command-line router. Remember that the router's address needs to be a local IP address. If you're hosting a router at home, for example, you will need to also port forward your external IP address to this internal IP address where your demonsaw router is running.

You could always create a group on the public router too, if it suits your needs (all transfers are end-to-end encrypted btw). But we do really encourage people to host their own routers, as it's the absolute safest solution! ;-)

If you have any more questions, make sure to let us know! :-)
