# Exclude local host

You can exclude the local host in the Android Player to start local web spots at 127.0.0.1 instead. This can be useful, for example, if you're having issues with redirected external server calls.

To exclude the local host, perform the following steps:

1. Open the player configuration or the configuration group:
  - For an individual player, go to **Channels > Location**. Double-click on your player and select **Edit** next to **Configuration** in the **Edit player** window.
  - For a configuration group, go to **Administration > Player > Configuration groups** and double-click on the configuration group.
2. In the **Edit configuration group** window, select **Display extended modules**.
3. Under **Modules**, select **Server**.
4. Under **Settings**, select **Pin LocalServer to 127.0.0.1**.
5. Click **Save** to save your changes.
6. Restart the player service or reboot the player for your changes to take effect.
