How do I listen for HTTP requests from the internet? (lemmy.ca)

I've been able to set up sending and listening to http requests locally using 127.0.0.1:8000. I want to try doing it using the internet now.

I have a VPN with port forwarding enabled, but sending requests to that IP address and port does not yield a response like it did when doing it locally.

Can anyone clarify which address I should be listening on in order to receive http requests from the internet? I tried 0.0.0.0 and a few inet addresses from ip add, but none of them work.

Seems like lots of vpn providers offer port forwarding after a fashion. It surprised me too but there were summary comparisons just a search away.
