LAN vs Live Link
Two ways to show a running local project: LAN share (same Wi‑Fi) and Live Link (remote via Rig’s relay at userig.app/live/…).
No. The Mac opens an outbound WebSocket to Rig’s API and proxies HTTP from a process already running locally. Source stays on disk. You do not need Cloudflare or cloudflared.
- Start the project so it has a local URL / port.
- Open Share → LAN / QR.
- Client joins the same Wi‑Fi and scans or opens the LAN URL.
- Sign in with a Rig cloud account on the Mac.
- Start the project.
- Share → Live Link (optional Privacy Mode password).
- Copy the branded Live Link URL (userig.app/live/…) or show the QR.
- Stop the share when the call ends — links are opt-in and never auto-start.
- Same office Wi‑Fi → LAN is fastest.
- Remote client / mobile data → Live Link.
