You will see a mostly blank page close this, and go back to project page, click confirm.

Hello @weidong!
I have connected to my Neo4j databases successfully using this technique. But I just want to use the “Through GraphXR server connection” option and how can I do it?

To connect through server, the GraphXR server needs to be able to “see” your DB. If you use DB running on localhost, the server won’t be able to access it unless you use some kind of tunneling to expose your DB connection.

So with DB running in localhost, or in any situation that you don’t want data flow through any other machine, you should use Browser direct conection.

Hope that helps.
