Hello. Instead of you tagging onto another older and solved topic about a different issue from your apparent request… I moved your post into its own topic.

Now please supply full details of what you are wanting to do , what you have trying and the results… Preferably something that means something to your question instead of whatever you posted, :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If i use my own server, I don’t know how to modify it, please help me.

It seems that you also don’t know how to format your code correctly when posting on this forum!

Pete.

@shuaiqi As per the Welcome Topic, I have properly formatted your posts for forum viewing. Please look at how to do this properly yourself.

As for your issue, are you saying you are just copying someone else’s code and this is NOT your IPs?

There’s certainly a Blynk server with a project using that auth code at the external server IP address. If it’s not @shuaiqi’s server then he’s just shared someone else’s details on a public forum!

Pete.

thank you

Nope… it stays, as a hopeful reference for others that dutifully search and read :rofl: before asking lots of questions

Ok, thank you very much.
