Tested on ESP32 and both Arduino and ESP-IDF.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

There was no log entries after 

I (4262) esp_netif_lwip: DHCP server assigned IP to a station, IP is: 192.168.4.100

showing client connected, and client receiving

ERROR Connecting to 192.168.4.1:3232 failed: [Errno 61]

mostly a duplicate #3956 and #3253 but it also appears to affect any network service like OTA and mDNS as well.
