# Accessing the Central UI

> Access the Odigos Central web interface using port-forwarding or a custom address.

After installation, access the Central UI using port-forward:

```bash theme={null}
odigos pro central ui
```

This forwards:

* **Central UI** to `http://localhost:3000`
* **Central Backend** to `http://localhost:8081`

## Options

| Flag                | Default          | Description                                 |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `--address`         | `localhost`      | Address to bind the port-forward to         |
| `--namespace`, `-n` | `odigos-central` | Namespace where Odigos Central is installed |

**Example:** To access from other machines on your network:

```bash theme={null}
odigos pro central ui --address 0.0.0.0
```

For production, expose Central with an ingress instead of port-forward. Route UI and backend paths as described in [Authentication](/central/authentication#production-ingress-configuration), and set `auth.externalUrl` to the public HTTPS URL.
