Python socket can not seem to make a connection

Question

I'm trying to make a TCP chat on port 10 000, I have a linux server on which I'm listening :

NETSTAT report :

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10000         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

NMAP report :

10000/tcp open  snet-sensor-mgmt

But I can not seem to get a connection when trying to reach out to the server from my home computer with the following code:

def sock_connect (server,port) :
    # Create a TCP/IP socket
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    # Connect the socket to the port where the server is listening
    server_address = (server,port)
    print ('[+] Connecting to %s ...' % server)
    sock.connect(server_address)
    print('[+] Successfully connected to %s' % server)
    return(sock)

Please note, it all works perfectly on my localhost. I have allowed all port 10000 incoming traffic on my server but I have no portforwarded or configurated anything on my home router, could that be the problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Like Xiwei Wang commented, the solution was to listen on 0.0.0.0 Thanks again !
