Error: invalid_request device_id and device_name are required for private IP

An alternative to editing a hosts file is to use the “Magic DNS” service https://nip.io/

nip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS for any IP address. Say your LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1:

         10.0.0.1.nip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1      (dot syntax)
    192-168-1-250.nip.io   resolves to   192.168.1.250 (dash syntax)
         0a000803.nip.io   resolves to   10.0.8.3      (hex syntax)
 foo.bar.10.0.0.1.nip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1      (subdomains)
app-192-168-1-250.nip.io   resolves to   192.168.1.250 (prefixes)

With this service, you can specify a public-looking domain that resolves to a private address.

In the Console, if your Redirect URI was (what you wish you had anyways):

http://192.168.1.1:8080/auth/google_oath2/callback

Replace it with:

http://192.168.1.1.nip.io:8080/auth/google_oath2/callback

“Redirect URIs” does not seem to accept wildcards, so the entire private ip-xip.io needs to be specified in the console.
