Hello there 👋

The localhost address resolved to 127.0.0.1 IPv4 address. Which means these two addresses only accessible on your local machine, in your context is your phone.

I assume you are not running any service on your phone which occupies the 5000 port so the ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED error message is valid.

In order to access the BlazorServer from your phone, first you have to find out your host local ip address. Press windows key > start type cmd > enter > open cmd > type ipconfig > enter.

You supposed to see the something like this, where there could be multiple adapters.

Switch to you phone, open the wifi options and find the connected network details, look for the default Default Gateway address.

Once you found a matching Default Gateway address, on your PC, pick the IPv4 Address, and you have to replace with the localhost => that address.

Based on the provided example, in your phone browser you should type http://192.168.0.10:5000/
