Pi Desktop 0.6.4 changed two sets of numbers at once: the router ports that had to be manually configured for remote access to SoloHost went from “must be opened” to 0; and the app permission checks went from 1 at installation to 3—lowering the barriers while raising security.
According to a statement on the Pi Network official blog on October 23, the core feature of version 0.6.4 is an upgrade to SoloHost remote connections. Previously, Pioneers who wanted to use Pi Browser on their phones to remotely access local apps on their computers had to change their home router settings, and connections would fail on some networks. With 0.6.4, Pi Desktop handles connection setup directly, so manually opening ports is no longer required. Remote access still needs to be enabled manually, and existing users can switch over by clicking “Reconnect.”
