RedirectURI notes

Google will not permit the use of an URI containing an IP  address for the redirect except for 127.0.0.1

If your server does not have a public dns address then we recommend using the nip.io service to fake a uri from an ip address.

For example, if your server was located at 192.168.1.51 you would connect your browser to

http://192.168.1.51.nip.io/
This would then resolve to your local IP address
(dont worry, its not a website, it just returns the IP address you use through dns)

You can then connect and complete the Authorization process.
