macos - Grant access to my local computer form outside


I am on OS X El Capitain 10.11.5.
Trying to run web server locally and grant access from somewhere outside.
In order to get access to Internet I use wifi spot.
Firewall is unavailable on my Mac computer.

As you can see my computer ip address inside wifi network is 10.37.44.92


At the same time Google shows that my public IP is 77.88.196.39


That's how I run the web server:


dmac:solidus-sample dob$ rails s -p 3001
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.7 application starting in development on http://localhost:3001
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2016-08-09 15:32:15] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2016-08-09 15:32:15] INFO ruby 2.2.4 (2015-12-16) [x86_64-darwin15]
[2016-08-09 15:32:15] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=16366 port=3001

I would like to get access to my web server by http://77.88.196.39:3001. But now it's not accessible though.


What have I done?


When I run the web server in such way (-b key means binding):


rails s -p 3001 -b 10.37.44.92

I can access to http://10.37.44.92:3001 from any computer inside the same Wifi network.


But no successful access to the web server from Internet.
Thanks.



Answer



I think you need port forward to be viable on outside. For example you address is : 192.168.1.21 and you want provide you web server on outside, you need check you public IP, in your case it is 77.88.196.39. So for open web you must open port 80 on your router. You need go to router setting find window with a port forwarding or some think sounds like that. And next put you local adres 192.168.1.21 and add port 80 and click save. Now you web should be viable on outside. If you don't have access to router contact with your network administrator.


In your case, You must open 3001 port on router
