OS X - forwarding external port to local loopback address
- by Rory Fitzpatrick
I have an HTTP service bound to port 8000 that I want to access from another computing on the network, but I can't seem to connect using the external IP address of the machine (e.g. 192.168.0.105). I've checked the OS X firewall isn't running, so I'm assuming the issue is the service is only bound to the IP address 127.0.0.1, and not the external IP address.
What would be the easiest way to temporarily forward external connections on port 8000 to 127.0.0.1:8000?
