My X-server listens on 0.0.0.0:6000.
When I do xhost +remote_host and then try to display something on my
X-server, the response is that it can't open the display.
If I run it thru ssh -X, it works fine.
Does 0.0.0.0 means that the X-server listens on localhost only?
If so, how can I make it listen on my external address?

Maybe there is a firewall inbetween and blocks the connection.

0.0.0.0 means it listens on all interfaces.
