I'm developing an API and I am hosting it on my desktop server running Windows 10 using php -S localhost:8080 -t D:\Code\Projects\Website.
I want to be able to use my iPhone to visit this localhost:port webpage without plugging my iPhone into my computer via a USB since they are on the same network. Although, my desktop does not have WiFi capabilities; rather it is using an ethernet cable plugged directly into my router. When I use this address on my desktop, it works fine and takes me to my index.php page.
If I open my default gateway 10.0.0.1 NETGEAR Genie, I can see my iPhone's IP is listed as an "attached device."
I added an Inbound rule to my Firewall (TCP, port:8080, allow access, domain/public/private enabled), but I still cannot use my iPhone to reach this webpage using [my_desktop_ipv4]:[8080].
Would there be any security restrictions from my iPhone's iOS settings? Or am I missing something?
