Windows 2019 server - Port closed even though it's added to firewall
Server Fault Asked by SJ19 on February 26, 2021
I just got myself a Windows 2019 server VPS. It’s unmanaged.
I’m trying to open port 3307. I added the port to the firewall under ingoing tcp/udp and outgoing tcp/udp (see screenshots below). I’m running a Django REST server on port 3307 (it’s running at this time).
After doing that the port still seems to be closed, a port checker also says it’s closed.
As far as I know this is all I need to do to open a port in a Windows server, is there anything I’m missing? I also contacted the host and they confirmed that the port is not closed on their side.
Screenshots:

One Answer
Your screenshot shows that your server only listens on the Loopback interface 127.0.0.1.
You are trying to access it with a different interface. Configure your server to listen on all interfaces (usually 0.0.0.0).
One way to do this is shown here:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:3307
