I created an app with create-react-app and the webpack-dev-server uses the react-scripts to load up the dev-server. The problem is i cannot access the dev server via other LAN PC. Any idea how to solve this? I also have a .env file where i change the default HOST name to domain.

I want to access the dev-server via my iPad for example. Earlier i just typed in the IP of the PC and the port and it worked.

I would appreciate any help

according to https://webpack.js/configuration/dev-server/#devserverhost just simply by adding

module.exports = {
  //...
  devServer: {
    host: '0.0.0.0'
  }
};

or directly via cli

webpack-dev-server --host 0.0.0.0

i have the same problem, i resolve with this: Example IP: 192.168.0.35 'webpack.dev.config.js'

module.exports {
  output: {
    publicPath: 'http://192.168.0.35:3001/'
  },
  devServer: {
    port: 3001,
    host: '192.168.0.35'
  }
}
