Was your TestCloud Tunnel session still active when you tried Live Testing, or might it have timed out, by mistake. ---

What’s the exact error text/code shown — just ‘invalid URL’, or is there more detail in the console/network tab? ---

It’s not related to tunnel , it’s related to live testing which throws invalid url ---

No No my question was not that, I think I didn’t frame it nicely. I asked that if the private link worked in tunnel and it didn’t work in live testing, so I asked that whether by the time live testing was started whether the link was still live or up and running. I asked that whether during tunnel it mught be up and while live testing it might went down ---

> [@Monty\_Bagati](#): > > Issue 8 : Live Testing invalid url > > I am not able to live test my private application under Live Testing as it throws me an invalid url bt the same url and private application works fine using Test Cloud , Why ? how about use your machine’s actual IP address instead of `localhost`, and make sure your TestCloud Tunnel is active so the TestCloud environment can reach your local service for example, use `http://192.168.x.x:8080` rather than `http://localhost:8080`
