and yet when the service binds to localhost instead of a local, private routable address that clearly exists as you're tunneling to the internet, it has said "hey, look, whatever im doing i dont want any other computer anywhere to be able to connect. localhost is identical on everything explicitly so it has zero chance of routing. Why not open tunnels to whatever routable private ip you have up?

And while a bit toung in cheek, i'm not too aware of this whole ip address scarcity thing. I've got a decent chunk of a /29, if you could use a /48 or ten for your local networks just ask! Or would it be tough to squeeze down to only 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 local addresses?
