Unable to connect to port 8000 on Azure

Question

Description

I am using a virtual machine with the Ubuntu image. I tried to run my server on Django with this command python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000.

When I search <public ip>:8000 it fails to load.

I used this tutorial for my firewall: https://youtu.be/Sa_kQheCnds?list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p&t=1632

You have only allowed incoming traffic to port 8000 from a single IP address. It looks like you put your Azure VM's IP address in as the source. So only the VM can access itself on port 8080.

You need to be loading the web app from that IP address, or change the IP address to your actual IP address, or allow any source.

Aside from Michael's answer, please keep in mind that Network Security Groups only affect Azure.

You'll also need to allow inbound traffic in your VM's local firewall.

How would I accomplish that? – Unloading Gnat Jul 08 '20 at 23:37
does ufw allow traffic? – Unloading Gnat Jul 08 '20 at 23:39
Yes, you can use ufw to set up a host firewall, but the last time I checked Ubuntu does not enable a host firewall by default. – Michael Hampton Jul 08 '20 at 23:44
