How to open a port on google compute engine

Question

I'm facing some problem while accessing a port through IP address, but it's working through 'localhost' when I use the machine or any other external client machine.

I'm not able to access the 8888 port.

Help needed.

Answer 1

You need to change the local TCP server settings files from 'localhost' to '0.0.0.0'

You can check it in the firewall rule list.

This might work.

Answer 2

You need to set the firewall rule on Google Cloud. click the below link for setting the Firewall rule on Google Cloud.

This article says I need to create a firewall rule to open a particular port on Google cloud. Can I edit or change an existing rule to open a port?
