Why does my MongoDB database connect using an URL that contains 127.0.0.1 instead of using 'localhost' as default, even though it doesn't work when I try to use 'localhost'? Here's the error i get:
MongooseServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:27017

I tried disabling the firewall for public and private networks, and it still doesn't work. The moment I replace 'localhost' in the URL i use in the code to connect to the database with the IP 127.0.0.1, the database seems to connect.
