By default 127.0.0.1
has the localhost alias.
- I found several approaches to changing it to a different string, but what is the standard, effective and safe best-practice way of doing it?
- Can I give the same IP, but with a different port, a specific/different alias e.g. when I type marius to get responses from the server listening to
http://127.0.0.1:3000
?
:8080
. Would changing the IP (e.g.127.0.0.2
), and then give that one another alias be a better approach?
