Eternal Terminal server binds to all interfaces by default, and cannot be configured to bind to only some interfaces

[ctsrc]

By default Eternal Terminal server will bind to all interfaces.

In my case that is not desirable and I would like to limit it to listen only on a specific network interface / selection of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Most server software will allow you to configure this, such as for example OpenSSH.

Hey @ctsrc, is it enough to limit to ipv4/ipv6 or do you also need control over the specific interface?

[ctsrc]

Hi @MisterTea, in my case I would need for it to be able to bind to a specific set of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and not on others.

I'll second this one. I frequently have machines with multiple IPs that are used for jails (lightweight virtualization) and the jails cannot make use of port 2022 (or whatever I set et up for) if the process on the host is binding all IPs.

Also not having an option to limit bind IPs is bordering on a POLA violation, IMHO - I can't think of another commonly-used daemon that doesn't allow for this.
