You could try opening the web browser and entering localhost:4848 into the address bar, but what if you don’t want to install your own web server? If you’re running Oracle’s Java software, there are ways to serve requests using a proxy server. A proxied server allows you to connect to the web server behind a virtual private network, or VPN – which in this case is safely installed on your computer.

I get lots of questions from beginners in Java to setting up localhost:4848 in their servers. It is usually followed by, “”why should I do that?”” or “”what is the simplest way?”” I know it might seem obvious to just open a port but before you do that, take a look at the following two topics:
