Bug: Failed to work out externally visible IP address on VS creation even though checks pass

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Rocky 8
Webmin version 2.105
Virtualmin version 7.82

System Settings > Re-Check Configuration and everything passes, including “Default IPv4 address for virtual servers” but when I go to create a VS it says: “Failed to work out externally visible IP address”.

Seems to be a bug?

I think this happens if the server is behind router (at home). I never have this issue on a VPS hosted machine.

It’s not behind a router, but the nameservers are probably not propagated yet - not sure if that would make a difference to this though. It’s odd that the configuration check passes : /

That shouldn’t matter, is this new install and clean OS?

I used System Settings > Networking Settings > Default IP address for DNS records > Same as virtual server IP to get it to work.

Also think I found the reason why it wasn’t working, we use different listening ports for Apache so it appears the correct port needs to resolve in order for it to work (so in the meantime use Same as virtual server IP as above`).
