Access localhost from the internet

Question

I need to forward my localhost for a short period of time for testing purposes  It has to be accessed from the public internet    How can I achieve this   Thanks

User · Answer

You are accesing localhost  meaning you have a web server running on your machine  To access it from Internet  you need to assign a public IP address to your machine  Then you can access http    lt public ip gt   lt port gt    Port number is normally 80

Try with your IP Address   I think you can access it by internet

User · Answer

use your ip address or a service like noip com if you need something more practical  Then eventually configure your router properly so incoming connection will be forwarded to the machine with the server running

You go into your router configuration and forward port 80 to the LAN IP of the computer running the web server    Then anyone outside your network  but not you inside the network  can access your site using your WAN IP address  whatismyipcom

Even though you didn t provide enough information to answer this question properly  your best shots are SSH tunnels  or reverse SSH tunnels    You only need one SSH server on your internal or remote network to provide access to your local machine   You can use PUTTY  it has a GUI  on Windows to create your tunnel

Open the port where your system is running  sample 8080   Open the port everywhere    Modem  firewalls  etc etc etc   THen  send your ip   port to the person who will use it   sample  http   200 200 200 200 8080 mySite
