Hi,
This is kind of a stupid question, but can DirectAdmin run on IPv6 only?

I have a backup server with a lifetime license that's only used if my main one goes down. I really don't want to pay for a static IPv4 block from my ISP, but I have static IPv6. Cloudflare can also do IPv6->IPv4 tunnelling.

I don't think the DA license has an IPv6 option, so I'm assuming each server MUST have an IPv4 license? My IPv4 address is dynamic, so I can't really use that.

Thoughts? Suck it up and pay I guess?

DirectAdmin does not need a IPv4 address. It just needs a valid license key. (You might need to add the IPv6 address to the allowed IPs if you have IP restrictions enabled.)

The only problem you might face (that I can think of) is when someone wants to reach your server but they do not have a IPv6 address.
 
Doesn't DA require you to update the server IPv4 address in the directadmin.com client area
