Expected Behavior

I expect that with "remote.localPortHost": "allInterfaces" there would be a process listening on 0.0.0.0 (or "IPv4 unspecified" in Windows terminology) on the configured port on my machine.

Actual Behavior

Code.exe is listening on loopback, thus I can't access the forwarded port through my private IP address from my local wifi network. This is what I see in Resource Monitor:

Image

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Connect to a remote host via VSCode Remote SSH.
  2. Configure "remote.localPortHost": "allInterfaces" in User settings.json both locally and on the remote host (I don't know where exactly it should be configured, so I configured both):
    Local: Image
    Remote:
    Image
  3. Run a sample web server on port 8080, for example.
  4. Forward the port 8080 if it's not auto-forwarded yet: Image
  5. Disable the Windows Firewall or configure a rule that allows inbound traffic on port 8080: Image
  6. Check that the browser can open a web page from the web server on http://localhost:8080
  7. Find your PC's private IP either via ipconfig or in your local WiFi web console. Mine, for example is 192.168.1.224.
  8. Check that the browser can open a web page from the web server on http://{your_pc_private_ip}:8080 🔥
  9. In my case step 8 doesn't work, connection times out, so go to the windows Resource Monitor and check the "Address" that Code.exe is listening on for port 8080 (see screenshot in "Actual Behavior"). It will say "IPv4 loopback", which is the core problem. It should say "IPv4 unspecified" since we configured "remote.localPortHost": "allInterfaces"

Anything else?

Everything works fine in my setup if I just forward the port manually via the SSH command:

ssh -L 0.0.0.0:8080:localhost:8080 -N devbox -v

In this case, I can access my web server via my PC's private IP and this is what I see in Resource Monitor:
