Localhosting is unaccessable from other devices on my local network

General system Newbie
1

I have two machines in my house running endeavouros and both systems are unable to setup localhost properly.

If I run a python http.server or a zola server. The server starts and I am able to connect to it through my web browser on the same device. However, if I try to connect to the same IP on my other PC and phone, it just displays that the website is unreachable.

here is a tcpdump of my phone trying to connect to the zola server running on my endeavouros machine:

I’m not sure what the issue is. I have no firewall running, and I have definitely setup up the http.servers correctly. If I do the exact same commands on my ubuntu installation, localhosting works and I am able to access the server from multiple devices on my local network.

We ship with firewalld and enable it by default. Did you remove or disable it?

ahh this was problem. Thank you.
Did not realise there was a firewall active called firewalld.
