Add support for IPv6 on the relays

Hey Kate Trojanowski/Minetta Gould, when DNSFilter implements IPv6 support for relay servers, for the DNS query log and insights, can you have BOTH the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the client listed for dual stack networks since it seems that both are transmitted with DNS queries? Thanks!
Minetta Gould
Eric Nix: Hey Hey! Want to make sure we understand what you're asking: both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are available in the Query Log: the columns are just hidden by default. Can you give a little more detail on what you're suggesting? Thank you!
Eric Nix
Minetta Gould I'm sorry, I meant in the insights section. Yes, DNS query reports either IPv4 or IPv6 address. With insights though, if you click on a domain that is blocked for example, it will list the local address if it is an IPv4 query but not the address if the query was made by IPv6. I could be wrong, but I thought the relay received both IP addresses. Also, hostnames would also be nice to be in the query log/insights. There is an option for LAN device name in the query log, but it does not show this information from relay servers.

I'm not sure what else DNSFilter is adding, but my query log is logging IPv6 client addresses. There is some functionality of IPv6 with the relay servers, but hopefully they are developing ability to put certain IPv6 subnets into specific profiles (i.e., 2000:100:1500:1::1/64 in one profile, 2000:100:1500:2::1/64 in another). This is offered for IPv4 subnets via the LAN Subnet section of the relay configuration.

Kate Trojanowski Hey is there a timeline on when this might be implemented?
Minetta Gould
Eric Nix: Hey Eric! Ah, the timeline question: you always know how to keep us on our toes 😄. We’re not ready to commit to an exact release date just yet, but progress is still happening behind the scenes. We’ll keep this feature request updated as it moves closer to launch so you’re the first to know when it’s ready to roll out. 🚀
