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!
