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

The best way is to adjust the launchSettings.json, which is located inside the Properties folder.

Change

"applicationUrl": "https://localhost:5001"

to

"applicationUrl": "https://0.0.0.0:5001"

This allows the Kestrel Web Server to listen for traffic from all Network Interfaces.
