My api using actix-web in rust responds to requests over the public networking. But if I want to call it using private networking by the cloudflare tunnel template, connections are rejected.
Public Networking is over IPv4 and Private Networking is over IPv6 as per documentation https://docs.railway.app/guides/private-networking#listen-on-ipv6.
Binding to 0.0.0.0 works fine as noted by the docs https://docs.railway.app/guides/public-networking#railway-provided-port. But now i want to bind to IPv6 which does not work.
I tried the following options:
Using "::" as address
Using "[::]" as address
Using "[::1]" as address
Is this the wrong way of binding to ipv6? I thinks its probably the framework, but i think binding to :: should be possible.
PS: I have the same setup i want to achieve in javascript where 0.0.0.0 also works for private networking calls.

You would want to refer to the actix documentation on how to bind to IPv6.

Sry my mistake. You can not bind to :: and 0.0.0.0 at the same time. At least not on railway, probably not in a container.
Cloudflare tunnel can still not find the service. When enabling a tcp proxy per railway the calls go through, but tcp is not really what i want.

I have to figure it out. Why is it so hard to get a rust app running... 3 Weeks and it is still not fully operational :)

Ok, I fixed it that second. Now everything works. Thanks a lot. Finally operational.
