when using the command

python -m Http.server 8000 --bind 192.168.1.105

the server serves the localhost only even after binding with the device address I've tried binding with 0.0.0.0

python -m Http.server 8000 --bind 0.0.0.0

but nothing changed and there is no VPN running on the device I'm working on windows platform and trying to access the server form a mobile phone and a Linux platform I keep getting a message from the client's device browsers that say the address is unreachable
