Rich, there is no „EFB Server“. Your server is actually your PC with MSFS and the Fenix running. So yes, start MSFS and the Fenix. and then connect to your PC via iPad, tablet or whatever else device which has a browser and is in the same network as your PC. And yes, unless your router does not assign static IP addresses to your devices these IP addresses may change whenever you start your PC. Run ipconfig on your PC to see your current IP address and consider assigning a static IP to your PC so you can bookmark the address to your EFB EDIT see also https://kb.fenixsim.com/linking-your-tablet-to-the-efb Edited May 30, 20224 yr by DAD Link added Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
