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’m not the author of this post.

    I just was trying to make sense of what they were asking about.

      Oh god I’m so sorry, I thought they were jumping in, foot in mouth for sure. I’ll leave it there so maybe they see it, but official apologies to you
