Help: Connect Server (WSL) to Quest 3 via Browser

first imagesecond imageMy Setup:
The  server runs on port 9000 inside WSL2.
 
Inside WSL: the IP is 172.26.200.7 (from ip addr).
 
My Windows host IP (Wi-Fi) is 192.168.2.251.
 
From WSL, the server is started 
 
 
What I Tried:
 
1.Set up Windows port forwarding:
 
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=9000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=9000 connectaddress=172.26.200.7
 
2. Opened the firewall:
 
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WSL Server 9000" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=9000
 
Tried accessing via browser for testing: (first image)
 
 
The Problem:
When I enter the IP and port in the Quest 3 browser, the page says Blocked (first image) . Everything works fine when tested locally from the Windows browser or via curl in WSL.(second image)
 
 
What I’m Looking For:
Did I miss something in the WSL ↔ Windows ↔ external network setup?
 
Are there known limitations with Meta Quest 3 browser accessing local servers?
 
Is there a better way to expose a WSL-based server to the LAN?
 
Thanks a lot for your help!
