Title: Reach MC server via IPv6
Post by: masterjoe on April 30, 2015, 07:34:38 am

As I have a IPv6 only internet provider and cannot reach MC when I'm on the road. This is bad.

Please add support for IPv6 so that I can reach MC from my phone!

Anyone else like to see IPv6 support?

+1 please...

MC shouldn't care about whether you use IPv6 or IPv4.  That's the job of the OS.

Please see the wiki topic called Network Access (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Network_Access) for other useful information.

Actually thats not true, Applications need to support IPv6 explicitly.

That's true, I suppose, if you're entering the IP address, but that's not usually needed, and it should just work with DNS.

Other than for Gizmo and JRemote, I can't think of a place where MC can use only an IP address.  Maybe the Access Key.  Ok, we'll take a look.

You should really take a look because MC is unreachable from the IPv6 world.
Even with the access key there is no way to reach MC behind a IPv6 router!
