How are you running your code on the server?

Note: At a minimum, you will want to start with reading [How to deploy Django | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/deployment/#how-to-deploy-django)

Hi Anthony,

You need to edit your security groups by adding an inbount rule with your port. Additionally, depending on your operatic system you need to set properly your firewall.

This is an **extremely** bad idea for a public-facing instance of Django.

See [django-admin and manage.py | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/django-admin/#runserver)

Quoting directly from the docs:

> **DO NOT USE THIS SERVER IN A PRODUCTION SETTING.**
