Unable to connect to django server at 127.0.0.1:8000 on VirtualBox Ubuntu

I am working on a django project in my VirtualBox Ubuntu OS with Windows 7 Host OS. After executing the command python manage.py runserver the server runs fine, but I am unable to access 127.0.0.1:8000 through my browser.

I use a proxy server for my internet.

Is the browser trying to connect to localhost through the proxy?

Please help me out, I couldn't find any solution online.

does add

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost','127.0.0.1']

to settings.py, do the thing?

127.0.0.1 is always localhost for the machine it is being used on, so it cannot be used to connect between the host and the guest. You must bind to an "external" interface in the guest and then connect to the "internal" interface in the host in order to communicate between the two.
