Exposing kubernetes service container running on my PC localhost via WLAN IP to enable connection from another PC with both PCs on the same router

Question

I have a k8s service running on my PC locally and works fine. The Database and the services. everything works fine and are accessible via localhost on my browser and postman. However, I want to be able to connect to it via other PC/mobile app on the same router/internet. So, I have tried port forwarding, and I've tried mapping using netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=8014 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=8014 connectaddress=172.18.xx.xx But no luck yet. My question is that "Is this possible or am I just wasting my time?". I have spent up to 5 days on this already and I'm not sure if it is possible or not. Please any lead or solution will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try listening on 127.0.0.1, or completely remove the listenaddress which should make it default to localhost.
