IPv6 support

The features below support IPv6-to-IPv6 forwarding in Reverse Proxy, Offline Protection, True Transparent Proxy, and Transparent Inspection operation modes.

If a policy has any virtual servers or server pools that contain physical or domain servers with IPv6 addresses, it does not apply these features, even if they are selected.
