hi i have made a really basic example here to attempt to make this easy to understand, i have a simple flask api that returns a single string, it is fully accessible using localhost, but i want to be able to access it from outside of the local network. i have created a firewall rule that allows TCP traffic in and out on port 5000, but despite this, it does not work. this is currently running in a pycharm community edition IDE, but i have ran it from command line aswell with the same results.
Why can i not access it using http://[IP]:5000/test
my end goal is to be able to access it from any identity given using Tor service using Torrequests module, but to get that far i need to be able to access it externally in the first place
from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
import logging
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
class Test(Resource):
def post(self):
return "worked"
def get(self):
return "worked"
api.add_resource(Test, '/test', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=False ,host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
