node v18.0.0 not returning local IP

[felixwochnik]

Bonjour!

I use browser-sync, which uses this code as a dependency. I recently updated to node 18.0.0 without second thought and started getting the following error, where there was no external IP returned. The output looked like this:

[Browsersync] Access URLs:
 ----------------------------------
       Local: http://localhost:3000
    External: http://false:3000
 ----------------------------------
          UI: http://localhost:3001
 UI External: http://localhost:3001
 ----------------------------------

So I downloaded dev-ip, did some digging and it seems like for some reason address.family isn't returned as a string of IPv4 anymore, like in the original code, but as an integer 4.

Logging the addresses looks like this, without the unimportant bits:

{
  address: '—',
  netmask: '—,
  family: 4,
  mac: '—',
  internal: false,
  cidr: '—'
}

Any chance you could take a look? I've reverted back to node v17 in the meantime, but I feel like this problem might pop up for others as well.

I'm sorry if this isn't the most comprehensive ticket, I don't usually engage much with anything on github.

Cheers Felix
