I think the issue is because 192.168.1.9 is not considered as a secure context and so your browser doesn’t load the SubtleCrypto API ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto ), while http://localhost (or 127.0.0.1) is considered as secure.

try typing isSecureContext in the webconsole, if it returns false it means that you need to serve this endpoint via SSL

This URL (http://192.168.1.9:8000/ ) can be opened local machine,Not on other machines.

This is not considered as a secure context for your browser

I’d advise to run a local reverse proxy (mitmproxy https://mitmproxy.org/ or nginx ) that points to this ip address.

mitmproxy -p 8999 --mode reverse:http://192.168.1.9:8000
# access http://localhost:8999/?canisterId=....

Or serve your 192.168.1.9 endpoint behind TLS/SSL
