When running a local bedrock LAN server windows 10 clients can connect fine, however, when a Playstation 4 bedrock edition client attempts to connect to the LAN game it jumps to a "Playstation Plus" paywall and does not allow connection. This paywall should not be in play for non-internet play.

How is this resolved?
Just so there is no ambiguity the issue here is that if you are hosting a bedrock world on a local pc network (aka LAN, not Internet) the ps4 will only connect to that server if you have ps+.
Ps+ should not be required as I am not using their infrastructure for playing I am using my own local area network.
Just to confirm here is the acceptance criteria for this bug.
Scenario: Can join bedrock server on LAN without PS+
Given I have a Ps4 without a ps+ subscription
And I have a pc hosting a bedrock server on local network
And both devices are connected to same local network
When I attempt to join the pc game from the ps4
Then I should join the game
Currently the acceptance critiera fails as the when phase triggers a ps+ subscription dialog which stops connection unless you pay for a subscription.
I’m having exact same problem, please find description in standardised format below.
Summary
Unable to join LAN games on PS4, a PS+ advert is blocking the access.
Steps to reproduce...
Create and launch a Bedrock sever on a computer connected to your Local Area Network
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition game on you Play Station 4 connected to the same LAN
In game's home screen press 'login to your Microsoft account' button and follow the steps. Once successful your Gamer Tag should appear in the left bottom corner of the home screen
Press PLAY button
Go to the Friends tab
Scroll down to LAN Games section
Your LAN server should appear on the list if you configured it properly
Click on it to join
What I expect should happen...
I’m connecting to my Local Server and the party begins 🙂
What actually happened...
PS+ subscription advert appears. Unable to connect to local server 😞
How this impacts BDS
I can't play my local server
Note
Prior 1.14.210 I was able to play my server.
I had to launch PS4 via Remote Play (from another computer on my LAN) and then lunch the game from there.
There was no Login to Microsoft button, though, but instead game would sign me up automatically.
After 1.14.210 There is a button ‘Login to PSN network’ which doesn’t seem to work when i click on it.
Also running V1.18.2 on my Playstation 4 Pro and the behaviour is exactly the same as @gbell, @Req001, @atboimb exposed. Screenshots attached.
