> The error, though, is new. I did not change that listen address, it’s been the default the whole time. I notice Dr Schnagels posts his as ‘localhost:8384’, but mine has always been 127.0.0.1:8384.

I’ve already said this on the issue tracker, but I want to double check that there aren’t in fact multiple issues here:

- Current issue is that “localhost” is interpreted differently as “127.0.0.1”. 127.x should not trigger this caution.

- You’ve stated multiple times your listen address is “127.0.0.1:8384”: Where do you read this value from? There are multiple ways to set the listen address, what matters is what is set inside SyncTrayzor `File -> Settings -> Syncthing - Listen Address`. In that field you should see `localhost:8384`. In the GUI (`Actions -> Settings -> GUI -> GUI Listen Address`) it doesn’t really matter what is written there, since it’s **overriden**.
