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.

    So, you don’t know how to listen for an HTTP request that’s sent over the internet to a VPN IP address with port-forwarding enabled?

      They are telling you that you need to learn some more networking before you do anything.

      There is no reason to expose a http server on the internet
