We have not enabled ipv6 yet. Our goal is stability first and ip6 is great but alas and I mean alas not widely enough used yet. Enabling it would prevent many people from running a node. Running in parallel means doubling the numbers of endpoints in use so there is a cost and a significant one for many people.

tl;dr The ipv6 story needs work, the world needs to move to ipv6 and Safe needs to handle it, just not yet though, not yet

:smiley: it’s getting there, but not just yet IPv6 – Google If you see the per country stats it’s scary who does not have ipv6 yet.

I put more faith in Akamai on this issue.

Still scary though, look at Africa and places where Safe really needs to help.
