A minor addition: to use &#x27;localhost&#x27; in beta 8 you may need to also run the internal debug command:<p><pre><code>  pinata set native&#x2F;port-forwarding true
</code></pre>
In previous betas this setting was implied by &quot;VPN compatibility&quot; mode, but in beta 8 it was made an independent setting.<p>In beta 9 using localhost will be the default -- as avsm says we&#x27;ve been iterating on the network configuration trying to find the most compatible &#x2F; least surprising defaults. Hopefully after beta 9 it will be stable on &quot;localhost&quot;.
