Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows CLI command using the listen address localhost:8474 and upstream localhost:8000, then trace where proxy creation reports the bind error. Done means identifying whether the failure is caused by the command, address handling, or an existing socket, and documenting or correcting the behavior.
