So I have a small local server running a website. It's not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can't see it on any iPhone or Android device though

I've looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android

Any tips?

::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

If you say controversial shit outside of tech, mentally I'll will follow you around downvoting.

So you will see all of your post have a few downvotes.

If it is just this one time, it is likely an anaomaly.

Edit: BTW tcp dump is a nice trick, so you deff added to the discourse here IMHO

Many people learn Linux and networking from these threads where idea are flying around. So deff don't stop lol
