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.

    There are good points, but I’d disagree on the OSI Model, just read up on the 4-layer model instead. OSI goes into more detail, but is honestly more of a theoretical model and harder to understand without any payoff right now.
