Answer by KJ Sudarshan for How can I access my localhost from my Android device?

Solution for Windows:

You are not able to view your website, mainly because your firewall (default OS firewall or Antivirus firewall ) is preventing incomingconnections.

On Windows Firewall:

To allow incoming connections on specific ports, go to:

Control Panel > Windows Defender Firewall > Advanced Settings > RightClick Inbound Rules > Add New Rule.

Then :

1. Select "Port" radio button.
2. Enter the specific port / range you on which you want to enable incoming connections ( the port on which your server is running )
3. Select "Allow the connection" radio button.
4. Click Next ( unless you want to change the defaults )
5. Give your rule a name and click Finish.

Note:

If you are using an Antivirus having a firewall, then the above steps will not work since the Antivirus would have disabled Windows firewall and instead runs its own firewall.

In that case, depending on the Antivirus program, go to your Antivirus's Firewall settings and open the port.
