[Galene] Turn binding to the ANY Address - even when specified

[Galene] Turn binding to the ANY Address - even when specified

[Dirk-Willem van Gulik]

When starting galene with an explcit IP Address on a machine with multiple Ip addresses; e.g. with:

	./galene  -turn 11.123.4.123:1194 ....

netstat/lsof shows that it is still bound to the ANY address:

	  # lsof -n | grep LISTEN
	   ....
	   galene    49935 galene    7u     IPv4 0xfffff80019daf000        0     TCP *:1194->*:* (LISTEN)

Is this the expected behaviour (i.e. intentional and for a reason) - or a blemish/thing that I should try to fix ?

With kind regards,

Dw.

Only the address you specified is advertised to clients, but the server
listens on the wildcard address.  This allows us to change the server's
address without tearing down the socket when running with "-turn auto".

It would make the code moderately more complex to change that, so let me
know if it's important for you.
