The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 17283
Logged by: treysis
Email address: treysis@gmx.net
PostgreSQL version: 14.1
Operating system: Windows and Linux
Description:
Currently, PostgreSQL defaults to listen on 'localhost', which translates to
single-stack IPv4 loopback address 127.0.0.1. However, IPv6 is more and more
prevalent, not everything support happy eyeballs. Therefor, when no
listen_addresses are specified and/or if localhost is specified, this should
not default to 127.0.0.1, but instead to '127.0.0.1, ::1' to make PostreSQL
listen both on IPv4 and IPv6 loopback interfaces.
This especially fixes issues with the latest NodeJS v17.

The definition of "localhost" is determined by your local DNS
configuration, not by Postgres.
