Does this require an Oriveo server proxy?
No. Native apps connect directly. The web app uses browser Local Network Access and CORS and does not proxy a private address through Oriveo servers.
Open WebUI on mobile: a direct local compute client
Connect mobile to Open WebUI running on your own computer. Configure the listener, firewall, private network, and Oriveo without exposing the engine to the public internet.
- Use the compute you already own from another device, with no API credential on local HTTP.
- Oriveo is a client: Open WebUI must run on a computer. It does not run the model on your phone.
- Never expose an unauthenticated engine to the public internet. Use local Wi-Fi or a supported private VPN such as Tailscale; public and mixed DNS targets are rejected.
Prepare Open WebUI
Start the engine on a private interface, confirm the port locally, then allow that port only on your LAN or private VPN.

Common app questions
Does the model run on the phone?
No. The model runs on your computer or server; the phone is the client.
