Disable IPv6? Or configure which interface to bind?

[juliohm]

NoMachine binds to 0.0.0.0:4000 and :::4000 by default. For IPv6 networks, that means it is visible and accessible on the public internet.

Is it possible to disable IPv6 support? Or, maybe, configure which interface it binds to (ie: a local ULA address)?

You can disable it in the server configuration key:

#
# Specify the network interface where the NX service will be bound.
# Populate the field with an IP address or a domain name.
#
#NXdListenAddress “”

For example:

NXdListenAddress 10.1.5.1

Apoligies for the delay.

Setting the value in /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg works.

NXdListenAddress “0.0.0.0”

This effectively disables IPv6 bind on the NX server.

Ok thanks for letting us know.
