Why does ejabber work from all IP addresses on a subnet at the same time?

Question

XMPP

Hello!
In the network 192.168.1.0/24 at the address 192.168.1.226 the Jabber server ejabberd hangs.
The https protocol is used to access the admin panel.
https://192.168.1.226:5443/admin/
It is interesting that you can also access the admin panel under your favorite address that belongs to the network (you only need to specify https and port.)
That is, you can specify https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx :5443/admin , where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 and it will still work.
How is it implemented?

For example, if I knock the browser at https://192.168.1.5:5443/admin/ then the browser should open a connection to the server at 192.168.1.5, and look for the service on port 5443 there. Is not it?

Hello!
It seems to me that something is wrong with you on the local host.
Have you tried from another PC?
If we assume that the localhost is linux, then most likely the port forwarding rule in iptables is very "wide".
