Any tool doing a DNS query (and /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved is the DNS-server listening on 127.0.0.53) for this host's hostname gets back two addresses: the correct ipv4 address, and a broken ipv6 address. Unlike on ipv4, it is possible for the same ipv6-address to be assigned to multiple devices, and therefore the address is only valid in the context of the eth-device. Now, if "ifconfig" shows "inet6 fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>" then "fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7" is NOT a connectable address, and syscall connect() typically fails with EINVAL. To make it a valid address, it needs to be suffixed with a "%" and the device name, like: fe80::4687:fcff:fe9e:4ac7%enp4s0 Either the resolver can return the link name attached to the address separated with a "%" char, or it needs to ignore link-local inet6 addresses.
