IPv4 Support
Our infrastructure operates natively over IPv6. Subscribers who do not bring their own address space will receive IPv6 allocations exclusively and their servers will communicate using IPv6.
To serve IPv4 clients, subscribers may request public IPv4 addresses from the LIR pool. Port forwarding rules can then be configured through the client portal, which translates incoming IPv4 traffic to your server's IPv6 address via NAT64. This approach enables full IPv4 reachability whilst maintaining an IPv6-native environment.
