title: How can I access the Django server using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)?
body: <p>I'm using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10 and installed django within a python virtual environment. I'm able to start the django server successfully, but when I type in "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://127.0.0.1:8000/</a>" in my windows 10 browser I don't get a response. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried changing the port number to something else (eg. python3 manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:7171) and I still get nothing. </p>
  
  <p>I don't think it's a firewall issue, as WSL and the browser and all running on the same Windows 10 laptop. Do you know what the issue might be?</p>
  
  <pre><code>(env) $ python3 manage.py runserver
