# LAN Sharing

Share a Remote.It peer-to-peer connection with others on your local network, scoped to a single LAN address or a range of IPs.

LAN (Local Area Network) sharing allows you to share a Remote.It peer to peer connection to a remote service with someone else on the same LAN where you are currently located.

Sharing a service across your local network is a great easy way to reduce time spent setting up additional machines and users with their own accounts. The share is done on a specific service and you can control who can access it. Either specifically to a single LAN address or to a range of IPs.

Secure it for your private network and hide from your guest network.

With remote.it installed anywhere on the network you have the control to share it with specific IP, a range of IPs, or everyone on the LAN.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.remote.it/features/connection-options/lan-sharing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
