Does this container support IPv6? If not, is there any plan to support IPv6 in the future?

@mcbaoge Hello! This feature is not currently planned in this project.

Is there any reason why no IPv6 is planned? I mean IPv6 is getting more and more important.

@greenchapter There will be a considerable amount of work to support IPv6 in this project. For example, we'll need to detect if IPv6 is available and working in the Docker container, update Libreswan configuration to assign IPv6 addresses to clients, add IP6Tables rules to forward client traffic, and so on.

For now, consider using alternative solutions that support IPv6 for your use case.
