Sonoff ZB Bridge 1st gen integration issue

Hi everyone
I have a 1st gen Sonoff ZB Bridge which used to work, I was controlling my Weiser SmartCode 10 with it. I neglected HA for a few months and it stopped working. I started troubleshooting it by revisiting the original configuration and I am hitting a wall.

I can access the bridge via web and I can see all the Tasmota options seem to work (Tasmota 13.2.0).

The problem
When I go to integrations and select ZHA-EZSP

Failed to connect

If I select ZNP, I get the same error. I don’t get anything in the logs either.

I tried running an OTA upgrade, but nothing changed.

Has something changed or am I doing something wrong? it seems like the bridge is not responding to socket requests to port 8888.

This is the console log, I don’t see any entries for the port setup, it only shows the failed MQTT connection attempts:
