NXdListenAddress option does not broadcast correctly

I’m still getting wrong broadcast information under Server Status panel. It still shows all IPs despite what’s in the server.cfg config (at least under Windows 10). Of course I’ve already updated to the last 8.2.3 version.

By the way, which is the correct syntax for the config inside the server.cfg?

NXdListenAddress ipaddress or NXdListenAddress "ipaddress" ?

And what about multiple entries?

NXdListenAddress ipaddress1 ipaddress2 ipaddress3 / "ipaddress1" "ipaddress2" "ipaddress3"

or

NXdListenAddress ipaddress1,ipaddress2,ipaddress3 / "ipaddress1,ipaddress2,ipaddress3"

Thank you very much for the support.

I can verify that this is not fixed in version 8.2.3 on Windows.  I have tried:

NXdListenAddress ipaddress

and

NXdListenAddress “ipaddress”

@rschieche thank you for verifying it. Any other updates on this?

NXdListenAddress is working only for single IP and not multiple entries. The correct syntax to use is NXdListenAddress “ipaddress” as indicated in the cfg templates, using without “” can create issues on some systems. Did you restart nxserver after changing that NXdListenAddress?

We confirm that NXdListenAddress will be correctly shown in the MDNS broadcasts, but NXdListenAddress does not show correct information in the Server Settings/ Status panel. This will need further investigation.

So it’s not possible to specify multiple listening ip address even using multiple entries like this?

NXdListenAddress “ipaddress1”

NXdListenAddress “ipaddress2”

NXdListenAddress “ipaddress3”

If not, is it possible to implement this feature? Thank you!

[Britgirl]

is it possible to implement this feature?

This is exactly what we are evaluating 😉

Edited 17/4/2023: we will be adding the possibility to specify multiple IP addresses for the NXdListenAddress key.
