I'm going to run a grpc server on IPv4 address like this:
server = grpc.server(futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10))
protoc_pb2_grpc.add_ProtocServicer_to_server(StockProtocServicer(), server)
server.add_insecure_port('0.0.0.0:5000')
server.start()
But it it's listening to IPv6. Here is the output for lsof -i -n -P | grep 5000:
python 7302 dev 6u IPv6 224100 0t0 TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)
I've tested listening on IPv6 to see what happens, like this:
server = grpc.server(futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10))
protoc_pb2_grpc.add_ProtocServicer_to_server(UserProtocServicer(), server)
server.add_insecure_port('[::]:5000')
server.start()
but the result was the same:
python 7366 dev 6u IPv6 225782 0t0 TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)
I also tried to use the actual IP address instead of 0.0.0.0:
python 7392 dev 6u IPv6 226111 0t0 TCP 192.168.1.23:5000 (LISTEN)
Although I can use the server's IPv4 address on my client, I want to run the server only on IPv4. How can I do that?
