1. Try to connect

       socket = new net.Socket();
       socket.connect(
         {
           port: PORT,
           host: HOST,
           reuseAddress: true,

@ksetrin, are you using a port under 1024?

@ksetrin, are you using a port under 1024?

yes, I use 8080

[Rapsssito]

@ksetrin, check if that port is not already been used by other service.

I have the same problem, however removing the interface: 'wifi' option seems to to "fix" it, even with mobile data turned off.

My setup is the same as @ksetrin's:

OS: android react-native: 0.63.4 react-native-tcp-socket: 5.2.0

@traviswsims, it might be related to another process using port 8080 in the WiFi interface.
