Hi!

So i ran my server on IPv4. Now some clients hath trouble visiting websites. So i added IPv6.
Now they get a "Forbidden" error.

The way i added IPv6 to DirectAdmin is:
- Ran ip a too see if IPv6 was available (inet6 2a01:4f8:c2c:e049::1/64 scope global)
- went to Admin Settings > IP Management
- Added IP: 2a01:4f8:c2c:e049::1/64
- Edited the IPv6, added Linked IP to main IPv4 IP
- Checked if AAAA records where set.

Now Hetzner says 2a01:4f8:c2c:e049::/64m but IP a says 2a01:4f8:c2c:e049::1/64. Also DA made from the ::1 address this:
2a01:4f8:c2c:e049:0:0:0:1


Also tried adding the IPv6 to the users as an aditional IP but that doesnt work eather.

I think you did this the wrong way.
Unlink he ip there, because if you edit the ipv6 then you link the ipv4 to your ipv6.

You have to edit your ipv4 and then in there link your ipv6 to your ipv4.

After that, aaa records should be set and things should be working.
