| Summary | 0006295: Show ipv6 and ipv4 in whois or whowas or in a command like /futurgline | ||||
| Description | Every time I ban an IPv4 or IPv6 address, there are always users who find an alternative. For example, if I ban a user connected via IPv4, they then bypass the ban using IPv6 (or vice versa). It would be ideal to be able to detect both IPv4 and IPv6 of a user in order to ban both IPv4 and IPv6/64 each time. | ||||

The same can happen with someone that uses VPN and switches over IP's :) i think you cannot find someone who uses IPv4 his IPv6 address or vice-versa , but not sure. |

Yeah, like westor says, unfortunately if a client is connected through IPv4 then you cannot see what would have been their IPv6 address, and vice-versa. Those addresses are unrelated and not known to the server. Someone on IRC pointed that you could do a DNS reverse lookup on the host for both A and AAAA, but for pretty much every ISP host this would not result in a record for the other IP protocol, the hostnames are always different for IPv4 and IPv6, so that is useless. It's really only for some custom vhosts that you MAY get a match. So that isn't worth the effort at all (and then you can just ban by host of course). So, no sadly this is not possible, it is in a similar category of people asking to ban mac addresses, that is information that is not known to the IRCd either :) |
