Java networking

Question

Hello PROgrammers!

I'm making a chat app... And I'm planning to host a server and makes multiple clients join

Issue: how can a client join me(host) , if they don't have my ipaddress?

Like giving a password, and server name

For example zoom, Google meets...

How can I achieve this? Any idea please?

Happy coding

Thanks

Answer 5

Martin Taylor i just don't wanna share my device's ip address... Lol

It is okay for me, by making a remote server, and giving that remote servers' address to client...

Does that work though?
...

I just wanna have a fixed up address, that's why I'm picking remote,

I don't wanna make clients to change the code to match the host's up address everytime
