# Networking and LAN access

> Understand LStack's current local-only network boundary and Docker connectivity.

The current LStack dashboard is local-only. It binds to `127.0.0.1`, and connections from other computers are outside the supported product topology.

## Dashboard access

The installed product uses port `4700` by default. If that port is occupied, LStack selects a fallback port and records it for `lstack status` and `lstack open`.

```bash theme={null}
lstack status
lstack open
```

## Docker connectivity

Workers and container-based project runtimes need a supported path back to the native host control plane. LStack manages the platform-specific Docker connection details; users should not expose the dashboard to the LAN to make workers connect.

## LAN status

<Warning>
  LStack does not currently support LAN dashboard access. Do not bind the core to `0.0.0.0`, a LAN interface, or an externally reachable address.
</Warning>

LAN authentication, TLS, interface selection, and reverse-proxy guidance belong to a future, separately qualified product mode. They must not be inferred from the current local-only implementation.
