Ollama is an open-source framework that enables users to run large language models locally on their own hardware. By design, the service binds to localhost (127.0.0.1) on port 11434, making instances accessible only from the host machine. However, exposing Ollama to the public internet requires only a single configuration change: setting the service to bind to 0.0.0.0 or a public interface. At scale, these individual deployment decisions aggregate into a measurable public surface.[1]
