Figured it out..

In your easyeda Router folder, goto the config/local directory..

Edit the file main.json

change the line

"ip": "127.0.0.1",

to

"ip": "0.0.0.0",

I use a screen session and run the autoirouter in that, but whatever your chosen method, start the autorouter.

I'm running EasyEDA on a Windows machine so I need to forward the local port 3597 to the remote machine running the autorouter ( do this command in an Administrator Command Prompt)

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=127.0.0.1 listenport=3579 connectaddress=192.168.0.152 connectport=3579

Fire up easyeda, and look at the autorouter and you should see the local being available, even thought it's running on a different machine.

Hope this is helpful to someone
