Answer 1

I'm using .NETCore 2.1 prev, so I haven't been able to test it myself but if I believe that https://www.billbogaiv.com/posts/setting-aspnet-host-address-in-net-core-2, adding .UseUrls(urls: "http://*:5000") might be instructing Kestrel to listen to port 5000 and not only on localhost, so it should work also on a remote server.

Other possible solution, UseKestrel(..) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=aspnetcore2x using IPAddress.Any instead of Loopback.
