Mac OSX 12.3.1: `bind: can't assign requested address`

Hi

I had Syncthing running quite while for a long time, lately, I get the following error on my Mac OSX 12.3.1

[YZT3X] 09:23:35 WARNING: Starting API/GUI: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:8384: bind: can't assign requested address

I know this has been asked already and yes, I did check that nothing is blocking this port.

lsof -i :8384
➜  Syncthing

I even tried

nc -l 8384

and that worked fine.

I also checked that there are no instances of Syncthing running.

If I reconfigure the ip address in config.xml to my local ip (192.168.x.x) then it starts up.

Something seems to be preventing it from binding the port on localhost.

Note that I had tried to change to other ports such as 8385, 8386 and that did not help either.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
