IPv6 internal networking – RCON connection timing out between services

Hey there!

I'm running two services in the same project, and I’m trying to connect from one to the other over port 25575 (RCON for a Minecraft server). I understand that internal networking uses IPv6, and DNS resolves correctly to an internal .railway.internal address. However, when I try to connect using a Python socket from the bot container, the connection to that IPv6 address on port 25575 just times out.

From what I can see:

  • The target container is listening on tcp6 :::25575 (confirmed via /proc/net/tcp6 and a Python bind test).

  • DNS resolution returns a valid IPv6 address.

  • Both containers have IPv6 addresses on railnet0.

I just want to confirm:

  • Is there anything extra I need to do to allow inter-service IPv6 TCP connections?

  • Are there any known restrictions on connecting to other services on custom ports like 25575?

Thanks in advance!
