Just use the local ip of the machine node-red is running on,
i.e.
[http://192.168.1.20:1880](http://192.168.1.20:1880)
Best to fix the ip of that machine in your router.

By default Node-RED binds to `0.0.0.0`, this is short hand address that represents all available interfaces.
The log prints out that it's listening on `127.0.0.1` because this is how most first time users will connect to.
So you should be able to access Node-RED by pointing your browser at any available IP address on the host running Node-RED.
If you want to limit what IP address Node-RED listens on you can set it in `settings.js` with the `uiHost` value.
