If you want to use the built-in web server from inside a virtual machine
and then load the site from a browser on your host machine, you'll need
to listen on the ``0.0.0.0:8000`` address (i.e. on all IP addresses that
are assigned to the virtual machine):

.. code-block:: bash
$ php app/console server:run 0.0.0.0:8000
.. caution::

You should **NEVER** listen to all interfaces on a computer that is
directly accessible from the Internet. The built-in web server is
not designed to be used on public networks.
