Is there any way to add VPN information using appium to devices in aws devicefarm devicepool?

Question

I want to automate an android application using Appium, Java and TestNG on aws device-farm. However, VPN information must be added to access this application.

When I used remote control on AWS device-farm, I was able to set VPN information on the device and access the application, but when I want to create a device pool and run my automation tests on these devices I couldnt any way to set VPN information to all devices in aws device-pool.

So, is there a way to set the VPN information automatically via device-farm or appium?

Answer 1

I solved it by replacing the appium_server_url from:

localhost:4723

to

127.0.0.1

In other words, instead of localhost, use an IP address, e.g. 127.0.0.1
