Remotely connect to .net core self hosted web api

Question

I have a simple .net core web api with one action:

[Route(\"[action]\")]
public class APIController : Controller
{
    // GET api/values
    [HttpGet]
    pu         


        

Answer 1

You can simply do the following to create your WebHost, this will allow remote connections to kestrel.

var host = WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseUrls("http://0.0.0.0:80")
                .UseStartup()
                .Build();

After using the following code I still wasn't able to access my API remotely, I had to disable the network adapters created by Docker in the windows control panel (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections)
