I'm trying to run Jupyter notebooks from WSL (Windows Subsystem For Linux). The default port it uses is localhost:8888
However if I try to reach that in my browser, nothing happens.
If I start Jupyter with jupyter notebook --port 8080, I can connect with localhost:8080 with no problems.
So I think this is a firewall problem. I am running Windows Defender but am pretty clueless with it. I tried setting an Incoming Rule to allow port 8888, following the instructions here but it didn't help. Then I tried adding an Outgoing Rule as well, but that didn't help either.
I'm probably doing something very simple wrong.
Any ideas?
