Bug description

I am using Warpinator in LinuxMint v20.

My computer's Ethernet card have multiple IPs. I inspected its status using command like netstat, I found that Warpinator only listens to the first IP address of the network interface, thus the connection fails since the the other device connects to the computer via the second IP address.

There is neither UI options nor command line switches, that can manually specify listening IP.

The program should listen on all IP for the selected interface automatically.
Or add an option, so the user can set the listening IP manually or listen on 0.0.0.0.

Thanks!

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Reproduce on Linux Mint 20 with an Ethernet interface carrying multiple IP addresses and inspect Warpinator's listener with netstat. Done means connections succeed through every address on the selected interface, or a documented manual listening-address option is provided.
