I have a website that queries a server on my machine. I have made a firewall exception that enables any computer to access the server (or I thought so).
I have accessed the server from several public wi-fi networks without any issues. However, I am unable to connect from an airport wi-fi. I used TeamViewer to remotely log into the server machine and found that the website works ok there.
Is there a way to make sure that people from all networks can access the page? I'm not sure why an airport wi-fi wouldn't let me access the server when it doesn't appear to block anything else. Please help.
Airport wifis and other public wifis often block access to any port other than default http (80). If your website is running on a different port (8080, for example), it might be blocked. The fix is to reconfigure your server so that the site is accessible from port 80.
