   Hello Tommi,   
      
   On Friday March 26 2021 07:46, you wrote to me:   
      
    MV>> So you first made an IPv4 connect and then manually entered an   
    MV>> override to use fido6.vlist.eu instead of fido.vlist.eu?   
      
    TK> Exactly.   
      
   Two questions:   
      
   1) Where does the fido6.vlist.eu come from? It exists in the DNS but it is   
   only for local use and not advertised in the nodelist. It is not advertised   
   anywhere AFAIK. Maybe I mentioned it somewhere and forgot? Or maybe you just   
   happened to make the right guess?   
      
    TK> That happens because Radius resolves the hostname and uses the ipv4   
    TK> address, even when connecting via proxy.   
      
   2) So this manual override works only for my node and to connect to another   
   node you have to make another override? IOW manually enter a new line in the   
   config for each node that is to be connected via IPv6?   
      
    TK> Binkd works 'better' in this case, it just passes the hostname to the   
    TK> proxy and then proxy does the resolving job.   
      
   Understood.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
