I have a local installation of Wowza so the LAN IP is 10.0.0.50. In all of the wowza settings it shows me that address, how can I manually change it and insert the external IP address so that all my links reflect my global IP 50.205.X.X? This is strictly for convenience and simplicity when copying the stream links. I am tired of changing 10.0.0.50 to 50.205.X.X.

Hello,

You can change this in yout [wowza-install-dir]/conf/VHost.xml file and modify the following section:

```auto
<Manager>
   <TestPlayer>
    <IpAddress>${com.wowza.wms.HostPort.IpAddress}</IpAddress>
    <Port>${com.wowza.wms.HostPort.FirstStreamingPort}</Port>
    <SSLEnable>${com.wowza.wms.HostPort.SSLEnable}</SSLEnable>
   </TestPlayer>
   <!-- Properties defined are used by the Manager -->
   <Properties>
   </Properties>
  </Manager>

```

In the parameter you can put in your external IP address.

Hope this helps.
