title: Can't access localhost on MacBook from iPhone Safari, shows loading bar then fails?
body: <p>I have a nodejs server running on port 3000 and I'm trying to access that from my iPhone.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The Macs IP Address (found in "network")</li>
  <li>The Macs "name" (computer-name.local:3000)</li>
  <li>Changing the WLAN</li>
  <li>Opening "Internet Sharing" in "Sharing" unter System preferences</li>
  <li>Accessing the site through chrome</li>
  <li>Tested another iPhone than mine, same result as you can see on the picture</li>
  <li>Tested an XAMPP Server on port 80, same result as you can see on the picture</li>
  <li>Checked firewall (it's deactivated)</li>
  </ol>

  <p>You can see on the image that there is indeed a loading bar, it doesn't directly show "site not found" or anything. So what I am guessing is that I have to configure something more on my MacBook, but I can't find out what. I tried everything written in other posts about this. The final message I get(after like 20 seconds) is "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding".</p>
