Accessing A Local IP Address Globally Through a Static IP Using a Web Browser
Andrew Mclaughlin
I'm trying to setup an Ubuntu server for my daily Web developments. Now that I run the code the framework puts the deployment (HTTP server that holds the web service) on a local address: 127.0.0.0:89. If the static address of my server is 99.99.99.99, is there a way I can access to the local deployment, globally, through a browser?
I can't go simply to 99.99.99.99:89 because obviously that port is not recognized/opened globally. The only port that can be used on a browser by default is the HTTP port which is by default 80.

As you noted, 127.0.0.0 is a local address. You should bind to a public address, or to 0.0.0.0 (all ipv4 network interfaces).
