Hey everyone im trying to open connection to outside of local (works fine in local) but couldunt manage it.
Used aws ligtsail ubuntu 18.0 and also did port forwarding as Custom TPC for 3001 and still clients cant connect getting Connection Refused error.
What am i missing ?

Binding on 127.0.0.1 doesn't work for traffic coming from outside the machine. You can use 0.0.0.0 to accept connections from any IP, or you can check what the servers public IP is and bind to that.

0.0.0.0 didint work. Still getting problem but i dont understand 127.0.0.1 must be working cuz i was doing same on my nodejs servers and was binding to 127.0.0.1.
Error message is Failed to connect: Io(Os { code: 10061, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "Could not connect because the target machine actively refused." })

Weird thing is that im doing same thing with nodejs socketio server and it works but with rust i couldunt open outside of local (works fine in local but need to open to outside )
here is the example code that i use:

Do you have a reverse proxy (nginx, apache, etc) set up in front of your node program? That would make 127.0.0.1 work.

nah only used socketio here is the code that i used for nodejs i posted it to stackoverflow and after struggling a bit found the solution by changing from windows to linux.

This example code works perfectly for new connections outside of local.(nodejs)

Your node code isn't listening on 127.0.0.1 it's only specifying a port, and it's using a different port from your rust code. Are you sure you have everything set up to use the correct port?

eyo i checked again and seems did something wrong while deploy yeah first u said was correct thanks a lot brother.
