Currently all requests use IPv4, it would be nice to use IPv6 for the DNS servers that support it and use IPv4 only as a fallback.

It has been merged into development and will become available in Pi-hole v3.0 [image]

We currently support IPv6. Simply enable it during install or reconfigure your current install by running pihole -r. Edit: Do you mean using the IPv6 address of the upstream DNS server? Edit2: Ok, just read IPv6 upstream . Sounds like this is in the works.

Yes, that is exactly what i meant. I already know the thread, i even posted in it, i know that it works. I meant that IPv6 is used by Pi-hole as the standard protocol for DNS querys.

In the next release you'll be able to add custom IPv6 DNS servers via the web interface, among other things: https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE/pull/357

Thanks, but i already know that pull request. I'm not sure if you understood what i mean. I would like to see that Pi-hole uses IPv6 to query the DNS servers that support it as a standart. Everything should start using IPv6 more since IPv4 won't last forever.

Yes, I understand what you are asking for, but many people still don't have IPv6 internet access (myself included), so by enabling it by default might not be the best idea, for now at least. Even if the user enables IPv6 during install, their network may only support IPv6 internally. This PR will al…

I'm aware of that (i too haven't one :frowning: ). This feature request was more a idea that could be implemented sometime later. However, thanks for your replys.

I re-open this Feature Request, because I don't think that the requester has been satisfied with the ability to manually specify two upstream servers. We should think of including IPv6 upstream servers which can be enabled by a click on the settings page (currently, all check boxes lead to IPv4 serv…

Thank you for reopening. You're right, i'm not completely statisfied with the 2 custom DNS servers than can be set manually (altough it's still a great feature). Including IPv6 upstream servers would be great and would make a step forward to the "new" protocol. But i would still like to see that pi…

We currently do detect IPv6 capabilities and test for an open route to (ironically) Google's IPv6 resolvers. This is to prevent ULA/LinkLocal IP's from being detected and suggested as potential endpoints for users to configure internally. It shouldn't be that much of a change conceptually to change …

This has been implemented. [image]
