Hello Kilian,
thanks for your reply.
>the WireGuard mobile apps prefer IPv4 for connecting to the peer, since this helps roaming between networks (where many are still IPv4-only).
understood. Is that documented somewhere? For the Windows-Client, I did
read somewhere that ipv6 is preferred.
I find it inconsistent, that the clients behave differently.
>If you want to force an IPv6 transport, you either need to put a raw IPv6 address into Endpoint, or use an AAAA-only domain
Intuitively, I tried [my.domain.com]:51280 in order to enforce ipv6
(just like ipv6 adresses are enclosed in [].
Would that not be an enhancement to the app?
Best regards,
Hendrik
