[BDS-16814] Private Servers appear randomly as LAN

When I was in the friend's tab, I randomly found this server in the list. I have never played on this server before, saved the IP address for it, or anything at all and it randomly appeared.

Observed Results:

This was a random server that popped up, hosted by Apex in Montreal, Quebec according to the owner (more on that later in the notes)

Expected Results:

No server should pop as a LAN connection when not actually on your LAN.

Notes:

Searched up the owner of the server and joined their Discord server to let them know about this. After telling them about this they said, "I’ve had 10 or so others find it over the course of about a month in the same way you did, in the LAN tab." Another thing I noticed is that if you invite a friend, they don't get the invite for the server, even though in settings you could see that friends of friends could join.

Is this still an issue in the latest version?
