Re: External access

Wow... Indeed, in Windows telnet is disabled by default. Here's how you can enable it (first link on Google): https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-enable-the-telnet-client-in-windows-10/

I believe the problem is (how somebody already mentioned earlier) your port is inaccessible from external network or server is only serving on lo (loopback interface, also was mentioned earlier). You could easily test both cases with telnet. And I forgot to mention, that you should probably run telnet on separate machine (not the one serving Django), since you have no problem accessing your server locally.

Hi! Seems like port forwarding doesn't work correctly. Do you have any other ports forwarded (like ssh or ftp)? If so, do they work as expected?

What is this command's output:
telnet <external_ip> 8000

Sorry but I'm running Windows 10 which does not recognize "telnet"
