I have used the app for a long time with vpn and from the local network.
My new ISP have CGNAT and I'm trying to setup IPv6 to have remote access.
When I insert the IPv6 address in the app it won't connect. IPv4 on the local network works fine, and I can connect to UI3 externally with IPv6.
I format the address like this [2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888]:81

I'm I doing something wrong? Or doesn't the app work with IPv6?

If you are connecting via vpn you dont need your wan address. Simply use your local ip address once the vpn connection is established. Thats the point of vpn.

The software and webserver certainly do. I would assume the app does as well. Test your connection using chrome.

5.2.9 - May 26, 2020
Support for IPv6 addresses in a “dual stack” mode. If your router provides an LAN IPv6
address for your PC, you will now see this on the LAN IP list on Settings/Web server. If
your router and ISP support IPv6, you may now connect to your Blue Iris service this way
remotely as well. Unless you select to bind to a single address, the software will accept
connections from both IP4 and IPv6 addresses.
IPv6 may also be used for camera addresses on your LAN or elsewhere.

The software and webserver works fine with IPv6. I can connect to UI3.
I only have issues with the app.
I'll send an email to support.
