How to add FQDN in IPv6

rfcat_vk

Hi,

today I have been trying out varies features in an attempt to fix a site that is throwing a temper tantrum. I created an IP4 rule which allows the use of FQDNs and then tried the same for IPv6, but could not create an FQDN only IPv6 addresses.

I added a FQDN for the site which has mix of IP4 and IPv6 addresses, but only the IP4 addresses show.

Please advise how to overcome this limitation and when will it be added to the XG as a standard GUI feature?

Without being able to add the FQDN I cannot get the speed test to work, latency errors. I suppose I can add the IPv6 addresses to the rule, but ....

To add a little more fuel to the fire, there is a major ISP in Australia that will only be issuing IPv6 addresses to businesses because the cost of buying extra IP4 addresses has become prohibitive.

    Hi Flo,

    in IP4 web you can add exception to the web checking process, these exceptions do not work in IPv6. I would suspect because the IPv6 functions within the web proxy do not resolve URLs.

    I have done some testing of this and adding exceptions works for IP4 but not IPv6 eg speedof.me, I had to add host IP addresses so I could build a bypass rule. I was able to identify 3 IPv6 addresses for that URL.
