How do I access Syncthing?

Is p2p synching?
Syncthing is a free, open-source peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Solaris, Darwin, and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet. Data security and data safety are built into the design of the software.
Does Syncthing require port forwarding?
The external forwarded ports and the internal destination ports have to be the same (e.g. 22000/TCP). Communication in Syncthing works both ways. ... In the absence of port forwarding, Relaying may work well enough to get devices connected and synced, but will perform poorly in comparison to a direct connection.
What ports does Syncthing use?
The default port number is 8384. It's traditional for custom HTTP services to live somewhere in the 8xxx-series and it's an unusual enough port that it's usually free. Syncthing will however choose another, random, port if port 8384 is taken by something else at the time of installation.
