Experimental device test
Pair two Harbour browsers
Use two phones, tablets or computers. Start with both on the same local Wi-Fi, with internet available to load this page. This tests a direct browser data connection. It does not scan Wi-Fi signals, discover Reticulum peers or create a mesh.
No account, card, installation or camera permission is needed. Pairing codes contain temporary connection details that may reveal network addresses. Share them only with the person you intend to connect to, using a method you trust. Harbour does not upload the codes or use a relay, STUN or TURN service. Some networks block direct links.
The test needs JavaScript, a secure page and a browser with WebRTC data channels. If controls do not appear, use an up-to-date browser.
1. Begin on one device
On the first device, create an invitation. On the second, paste that invitation below and choose Accept invitation.
2. Exchange the codes
Codes expire after two minutes. After the second device accepts an invitation, it creates an answer. Pass that answer back to the first device.
3. Test the connection
No pairing has started.
No return message has been received.
If it does not connect
Confirm both devices are on the same local Wi-Fi and both browser pages are still open. Public Wi-Fi, guest networks, VPN routing and browser privacy rules can prevent direct communication. Harbour will not switch those protections off. Use another suitable connection or ask the network’s operator. A phone may pause the page when you switch apps; return to it and try a new invitation if needed.
A connected data channel and a returned ping confirm that this browser link worked at that moment. They do not identify a person, test another app, establish radio range or certify a network’s safety. Sessions close after five minutes. Close and clear ends the connection and removes the codes from this page. Nothing is saved to browser storage.
