Help Setting Up Service

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for setting this up on my home PC? I have the service running. But when I am setting up the client app on my Android device I don't know what to put in for the ip address or port number. I tried using the public ip listed here https://www.traccar.org/quick-start/ but nothing ever showed up on the localhost.

Thanks

Port number for Traccar Client should be 5055 if you haven't changed it in the config.

As for IP address, you need to ask your internet provider for your public IP address. Make sure it's really public and not behind NAT.

Usually you also need to configure router and firewall to allow connection to Traccar service.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to find my public IP through the router interface. As far as ports go, I have attached a screenshot.

Looks good to me. You can check if the port is visible from internet here:

Awesome! I got it working! Now onto the cheap Chinese tracking device.
Also, would you recommend me getting a VPS or setting up a server in Ubuntu instead?

Thanks for all your help!

It depends on your requirements.
