Django access from outside VMWARE (Public access)

Question

I'm using Django 3.0.5 under Kalilinux2020.1 launched from a virtual machine on VMWARE ESXI. I want to make my project public but it's not working.

I modified the settings.py and add: ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

The django server is launched using pyhton3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080

I allowed the port 8080 in the firewall using firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp

and I forwarded the port 8080 in the router

PS: I can access to my server from the other machines in the VMWare (LAN) but i can't get access from outside. Anyone has faced this problem?

Answer 1

The network adapter in your VM, it should be either Brigde or NAT either way it can't be accessible other hosts

Answer 2

I just find out the solution,

I changed the port to be forwarded from 8080 to 9001 and it works like charm now.

Thank you.
