Depending on how IPV6_V6ONLY is set (default is /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only and can be changed per application), the above might only be listening for IPv6 connections.

Yeah, I had a lot of trial and error with that part of nginx, perhaps I left things in a state that isn't quite correct.

So if you are trying to connect to IPv4 you might be connecting to something else.

Check with "ss -an" or "netstat -n --tcp -a" and see if there is a separate socket listening for IPv4 connections.

LISTEN 0 128 :::80 :::*

tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN

If there is only one listener, it is IPv6, and it accepts IPv4 connections, then I am on the wrong track entirely.
