Re: How can I host my django project on my pc for someone to see it outside my WIFI network

If you're looking for a tool to allow anyone to see your project running on localhost. There's a cool tool called Ngrok Which exposes your localhost to  be public with a secure tunnel.Check it out.

I'm going to second Kasper on this. There's enough affordable options out there that self hosting to a "safe enough" degree would be the more expensive route to go.

I did this myself for a little while - had a makeshift cloud service for myself right up until I had a dev-ops friend take a look. His little giggles and eye-rolls were enough to convince me that I was wholly out of my league.

It's a fun idea, but if you're going to do it right, it's not going to be cheap and it's still not going to be secure enough to keep your network from being compromised.
