IN PILOT TESTING | IPv6 Support for DNSFilter Resolvers
now
Michael Killingbeck
This request is currently in pilot testing for participating organizations. We will update this post once the feature is made generally available.

Expanded IPv6 Network Support
Future-proof your network protection. DNSFilter is expanding support to include full IPv6 compatibility for your sites, allowing administrators to define and secure IPv6-only networks with the same ease as IPv4.
Whether you’re operating in hybrid or next-generation environments, you’ll gain complete visibility and policy control across every connected device—no blind spots, no exceptions.
What This Means for You
- Extend DNS protection to IPv6-only networks and devices
- Maintain unified visibility across all network types
- Confidently protect your infrastructure as the internet evolves

Minetta Gould wooohooo! Where do we find the info to set this up? Also, is there support for DNSSEC with IPv6?
Minetta Gould
Eric Nix Not quite released yet, but we're close! We'll keep updating key milestones here up until Launch 🚀
DNSSEC isn't in the scope of this project, so you'll want to watch those separate posts for any updates regarding that.
Eric Nix
Minetta Gould Thanks. Hopefully DNSFilter moves in the direction that other major resolvers have done (Cloudflare, Quad9, etc.) by enabling DNSSEC as the default option.

Carl Levine Can you please present a timeline for the rollout of IPv6 resolvers, thx

Need v6 DNS resolvers and source IP lists for sites
Shaun Bentzen
Hi Guys, it's been a long while, what's going on, is it that hard to add IPv6 Addresses for resolvers?
Nate Smith
Yes DNSFilter, you guys need IPv6 support or we're just gonna leave for Cloudflare at the end of term. It's 2024 and this should not be an after thought.

Any Update on this very needed feature ?

Nachman Weiss: Thank you for your interest. Right now, we do not have any updates to share. We are still planning to add that support later this year, but currently are focused on the items list here - https://dnsfilter.canny.io/.
Neil Fisk
Steve Staden Is this still the case? We're currently trialling DNSFilter and virtually all of our endpoints are remote, so they require the roaming agent. However, the lack of ipv6 support has already reared its head as we've got someone in our test group who is on an ipv6 network and the agent will simply not deploy. Given this is likely to come up if/when we fully enrol in your service, it could become a real issue.
If support for ipv6 on roaming agents is not coming very soon, it would be a show-stopper for us enrolling in the DNSFilter service entirely, unfortunately.
Nick Saunders
Neil Fisk What platform are you deploying the roaming client to? Our Windows RC is currently installed by default with ipv4 only but can be configured via registry key to use an ipv4-ipv6 compatibility or ipv6 only

Nick Saunders Hi Nick. Predominantly Windows endpoints but we also have macOS machines as well. Do you know if the control via regedit is to be permanent, or will this be integrated into the client itself? Also, do you know when macOS will be subject to the update? IPv6 is a small, but growing, use case. We need to ensure that our controls are applying to endpoints on IPv6 networks.
Nick Saunders
Neil Fisk We'll continue to support modifying the config via regedit but once we've completed regression testing we plan to ship the RC with ipv4-ipv6 as the default mode which should handle both. We're planning for macOS support after we've released full Windows compatibility but don't have a firm date at the moment.
Shaun Bentzen
Please get this going, it's holding back on my implementation of IPv6.
We need the resolvers to additionally have IPv6 addresses to enable us to have a proper dual stack network
