Hello

The server cannot be accessed directly.

Can I set up a delpoyment-client on a remote forwarder?

 

The 8089 port is open.

Anyways you need atleast the UI or CLI access of the Instance in order to make the config changes for making it as deployment client.

If this reply helped you an up vote would be appreciated👍
