Ah, you'll be one of my customers for the snippets below

TLDR:

Stick these lines in your startup script file
set/var $main::localhost_alias_ipv4 '<external IPV4 address of node>'
set/var $main::localhost_alias_ipv6 '<external IPV6 address of node>' 
#if any
set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.30') # or 
whatever your internal net address(es) are

Kin EA3CV, for instance, has many more internal network addresses, over 
and above the localhost addresses. There is no theoretical limit.
