The domain rigpi3.local can be used as an easy way to connect to RigPi using a browser on another computer. Many operating systems automatically support the use of .local addresses with the exception of Windows. Bonjour may already be installed on your Windows computer, especially if you have installed Apple iTunes in the past.
Apple Bonjour, one popular way to add .local support to Windows is available as a free download from Apple. Search for Bonjour for Windows and you will find the site providing the download. Except for Microsoft Edge, most browsers will open RigPi using rigpi3.local once Bonjour has been installed.
If you are using Microsoft Edge, a program called Fiddle can be run at the same time as Edge so the .local addresses will work. Here is a link to the Fiddler download site:
To start Fiddler, use the Search function in Taskbar to find fiddler. Then right-click and select Run as Administrator. Once Fiddler is running, navigate to rigpi3.local in Edge.
