IPv4 and IPv6 usage

Following settings affect client part of the resolver, i.e. communication between the resolver itself and other DNS servers.

IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are used by default. For performance reasons it is recommended to explicitly disable protocols which are not available on your system, though the impact of IPv6 outage is lowered since release 5.3.0.

Default

true
