Question

My remote machine shows listening on the correct port, but the browser will not display the site.

I ran to nodejs apps and both of them showed the correct port in the console, however, when I entered the ip:port# in the browser the site would never load. Eventually the process timed out on both attempts. What could I possibly do to get this to work? Thanks

Do you have a firewall configured? If you do you will need to allow these ports there as well.

Make sure it’s binding to the right IP: 0.0.0.0 and not 127.0.0.1

Could also be a firewall, check firewall on VM (eg UFW) or DO firewall settings

However you probably want to proxy the traffic via something like nginx and not expose your node app directly.
