!!! info "Difference from legacy local server"

* The old legacy local server only handles IP requests; the new one handles all types of requests and supports concurrent for IP requests.
* The old local server uses default outbound by default unless detour is specified; the new one uses dialer just like outbound, which is equivalent to using an empty direct outbound by default.
