Currently, when adding an AAAA record, whenever you click on "Server IP" it still enters the server's IPv4 address in the input field.

It would be nice to have it autofill its IPv6 address.

Nice one, can do 😄

[@Bjarn](/user/Bjarn) Can you tell me where we should get the IPv6 from? We don't save this at this moment.

Probably needs to be saved like v4 is (and be editable by the user), here a few ways to do it on server setup:

- Using IP tools: https://superuser.com/a/1057290 (this can output multiple IPs, first one is not necessarily the default outgoing v6 address)
- (Ch)easy mode is by running: `curl ipv6.chief.tools` or `curl ipv6.icanhazip.com`
