Start Server without specifying public ip

[Ahmed310]

It would be good to have an override function for server to start that takes port only, like most libraries provide.
Alternatively can you suggest an solution how I find that ip from application level (pragmatically) and pass it to that function.

I was exploring the TcpListener class it provides an overload that takes port only

`
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace System.Net.Sockets
{
public class TcpListener
{
[Obsolete("This method has been deprecated. Please use TcpListener(IPAddress localaddr, int port) instead. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202")]
public TcpListener(int port);
public TcpListener(IPEndPoint localEP);
public TcpListener(IPAddress localaddr, int port);
public bool ExclusiveAddressUse { get; set; }
public EndPoint LocalEndpoint { get; }
public Socket Server { get; }
protected bool Active { get; }

public static TcpListener Create(int port);
public Socket AcceptSocket();
public Task<Socket> AcceptSocketAsync();
public TcpClient AcceptTcpClient();
public Task<TcpClient> AcceptTcpClientAsync();
public void AllowNatTraversal(bool allowed);
public IAsyncResult BeginAcceptSocket(AsyncCallback callback, object state);
public IAsyncResult BeginAcceptTcpClient(AsyncCallback callback, object state);
public Socket EndAcceptSocket(IAsyncResult asyncResult);
public TcpClient EndAcceptTcpClient(IAsyncResult asyncResult);
public bool Pending();
public void Start();
public void Start(int backlog);
public void Stop();

}
}
`

can we use it until its not removed

It's not really needed on a server. I assume that's why they're deprecating it. Typically you would listen on 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, *, or the actual IP address of an interface. Cheers, Joel

If the goal is to just listen on a given port regardless on the IP address on which a connection was received, set the listener IP address to 0.0.0.0 or *; that will listen on any available IP address. It will require administrative privileges.
