Network port forwarding from and to macOS may not work

When attempting to forward a network port, the port is successfully added in the player interface (it's marked with a green dot) but connection to the forwarded port fails. This happens when the client and/or the server is macOS. 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Connect to the macOS server.
  2. Navigate to Player Settings > Devices > Connect a network port.
  3. In the Remote Ports section, add a new port (for example, SSH).
  4. The port is added successfully and displays a green status indicator. However, connection to the forwarded port does not work.
