Concern of IPv6, what would happen if it ran on a dual stack enabled machine?

[zhousy29]

Guys, I haven't had time reading the codes yet, but would like to get answers from you.
For instance, my pc has enabled both IPv6 and IPv4. And, if an App is forced by proxybridge to go through a proxy; as per the documentation, "IPv6 not supported", does it mean that the App can make ipv6 outbound connection directly without going through the proxy? or have all of the ipv6 packets been dropped silently?
thanks

As per the latest version ProxyBridge only handle ipv4 connection means, if a packet had ip v4 then only ProxyBridge will handle it as per proxy rules like direct/block/proxy.

If a packet is using v6 then it will go direct.

Like if you have a rule like curl block/proxy etc.

If curl send packet with v6 ProxyBridge will always make it as direct connection doens't matter what the rule says. But if curl send v4 then only ProxyBridge will use Proxy rule.

If you use older version of ProxyBridge it has a bug that drop the ipv6 packets completely.

I haven't got time to verify ipv6 in macos. It doesn't support in linix mac and windows. Windows and Linux has same behaviour not sure about macos didn't verified from my end about apple apis for v6 vs v4. Most of the MacOS traffic handle by apple itself.

Ipv6 support is planned for windows in next release.
