So I have a small local server running a website. It’s not public facing at all, has a static IP address on my WiFi LAN and can be accessed by any Linux machine. I can’t see it on any iPhone or Android device though
I’ve looked up tutorials on line, ensured my firewalls allow local sharing on the WiFi, double checked I can even ping the server successfully with nmap on Android
Any tips?
::edit:: typo in post, not when searching for IP on LAN

Dunnon about iOS but some Android phones have a “network protection” config which uses a Google VPN, so it tends to block viewing the local network.
Is there a setting for this? Yeah, I assume it’s some default setting I missed
(I’m seeing this issue on any Android distro, I’ve tried a few)
It’s listed as a privacy option on my pixel. It may be different for others but you could try searching the settings for “vpn” or “privacy.”
Hmm not seeing it on GrapheneOS
