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.
I think you need to explain in more detail how your “listening” is set up. You don’t normally “listen” on an IP address, if it gets as far as the program you’re listening with then it’s already arrived at the correct network address before your program knows about it.
