you havent followed the bug template report with has missing information we need to help you
and this is not a bug but a question for the community to help you
you need to share with us your config.json file.
as when you first start meshcentral it will run in LAN mode, which means it will only work with devices in its local area network
hense why you are seeing it say 'local' in the meshagent

the is some docs here to help you get started/look through
https://ylianst.github.io/MeshCentral/meshcentral/

the is also some youtube videos here to watch https://www.youtube.com/@MeshCentral/videos
and the video you are after is lan/wan/hybrid mode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx5Fh3pQOns

my server dont have cert now,no https only http

[si458]

to enable WAN mode so external devices can access it, you need to set _cert to cert and then set a DNS name in the value

DONT USE AN IP ADDRESS AS IP ADDRESSES CAN CHANGE ALWAYS USE DNS!

also dont forget to portforward your port numbers throught your routers firewall is you are using it internally and want external devices to see it

[linyaohui]

how to enable WAN mode ? i already "_WANonly": true,

[si458]

i have just told you above - #6192 (reply in thread)
to enable WAN mode so external devices can access it, you need to set _cert to cert and then set a DNS name in the value
anything in the config.json that has an underscore _ infront of it is ignored, so you must remove the _ for it to read the value
