[BDS-16799] Can only connect to a locally ran bedrock server on the IPV6 port Created: 25/Mar/22  Updated: 07/Feb/23  Resolved: 07/Feb/23

 Description   

I am unable to connect to a server running locally on my device. The MOTD shows up on the listing, but I cannot connect to it at all. I am able to connect to other servers and even fully rewritten software, but the default does not work at all. Again I unblocked bedrock from connecting to localhost. I must note that nothing shows up in the console.

Edit: Connecting on the IPV6 port works, but not IPV4

Hi

Does this issue still occur after updating to 1.19.10? If so, have you tried to exempt the Minecraft client from UWP loopback restrictions? You can use this command:" CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt –a –p=S-1-15-2-1958404141-86561845-1752920682-3514627264-368642714-62675701-733520436 "

It can be also found in "bedrock_server_how_to.html" inside zipped Bedrock Dedicated Server. 

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

That's not a bug then it means your PC or network is running on IPV6, but surely you should just be using 127.0.0.1 or "localhost" as the address?
