Hi @favoorr thanks for the PR. We fixed this by setting the default to 127.0.0.1 in #1878, so people no longer need to give the bind address for dev mode.

@slackpad is there anyway i can over ride it ? localhost is problematic cause when i make tunnel to server i cant access it.
And overriding using bind is not seems to work.

./consul agent -bind 0.0.0.0 -dev
neither did -bind=
am on centos.

Hi @rushi47, https://www.consul.io/docs/troubleshoot/common-errors#multiple-network-interfaces offers some guidance on how to address this. For example, you could use consul agent -bind="{{ GetPrivateIP }}" -dev or consul agent -bind="{{ GetInterfaceIP \"eth0\" }}" -dev.

If you still experience issues getting this to work, please create a post over on https://discuss.hashicorp.com/c/consul/29 so we can continue to troubleshoot.
