I’ve been able to set up sending and listening to http requests locally using 127.0.0.1:8000. I want to try doing it using the internet now.
I have a VPN with port forwarding enabled, but sending requests to that IP address and port does not yield a response like it did when doing it locally.
Can anyone clarify which address I should be listening on in order to receive http requests from the internet? I tried 0.0.0.0 and a few inet addresses from ip add, but none of them work.
Change the listening part to 0.0.0.0:8000 - that means listen on all interfaces and from all origins.
I assume others have given you enough on the security aspect of that
Should I only listen on my external IP? I’m not sure the OP wants to get into local server firewall rules here…
