Would it be possible to display the addresses of the device itself in the UI?

I’m currently checking the logs or querying the global discovery server to obtain this information.

The `Listerners` popup might be a good candidate to also show “resolved” addresses.

Certainly the local device could have an `Addresses` row like other devices, I think.

I agree, it would be awesome if the GUI could show the address of the device itself. And if the address is set to `default` or a `0.0.0.0` value or some other value that gets “resolved,” it would show the value of the actual resolved address, not just the initial placeholder.

this would increase usability (for me at least) and transparency
