I'm using comm_local_port() to get the local port, remoteAddr() for the
remote IP address, and remote_port for the remote port. However, I'm
struggling with the local IP address. If I use local_addr I just get
[::] (localhost?), but I need the internet facing local IP address (as
per the connection tracking table). Any clues please?

I'm happy to wait for that if it would be better.

Sorry, I thought I had to specifically request it first. I've sent the
subscription request through.

Thanks,
