To allow other clients to access the launched Ganache via a link, refer to[ ChainIDE - Port Forwarding ](/chainide-english-1/port-forwarding.md)to forward the HTTP 8545 port, and copy its address (for example: [https://sandbox-1e82a87a951241179f98494a6dbb2617-ethereum-8545.uat-sandbox.chainide.com](https://sandbox-1e82a87a951241179f98494a6dbb2617-ethereum-8545.uat-sandbox.chainide.com/)).
