Enable IPv6

Enable IPv6 for your site or app to use the newer IP protocol, which has a range of benefits over the older IPv4 protocol.

IPv6 is a newer protocol for how devices communicate over the internet. Among other differences, it uses a 128-bit address instead of the IPv4’s 32-bit address, supports more IP addresses, and is the process of replacing IPv4.

By default, IPv6 is not enabled on all Netlify sites and apps. If you use Netlify DNS, you can enable it explicitly in your Domains dashboard.

To enable IPv6 for your site or app:

  1. From your Team dashboard, in the left sidebar, select DNS from the left sidebar. DNS option highlighted from team dashboard
  1. Select the domain you want to enable IPv6 for and select Enable IPv6.
