For websockets to work you'll need to ensure:

A websocket compatible server
- Not a regular Socket Server
- Not a Socket.Io Server
- Not any other kind of server. Specifically Websockets
A computer to run your Websocket Server.
- This can be the same computer as the one that runs Neos.
Some knowledge of how to program a websocket server.
- Most websocket servers are basic and do not include your application logic.

If websockets are not working in your world please check the following:

Is your address correct?
- It must be an address that Neos and your computer can reach.
- Localhost or 127.0.0.1 are ok if you're referring to your local computer.
Is the port correct?
- You can run a Websocket server on any port.
Does your address start with ws:// or wss://?
- It must NOT start with http:// or https://
Is your websocket server running?
- It must be running to connect successfully.
Is the "User" property set to the person running the websocket server?
- Websocket connections run as a specified user. If this is incorrect they might not connect correctly.
Have you denied the webhost in Neos?
- Navigate to the home screen of your dash.
- In the bottom right corner click on Debug.
- Then in the window that appears click the "Web Hosts" tab.
- Check for any line in the window that shows the address that you're trying to use.
