Players without IPv6 cant join my server

[ManElevation]

Heya!

well i have a problem, right now i´m hosting a server in ipv6 with a ipv6 address

but it seems like a lot of players are getting the famous "timeout" error, it seems that only players with ipv6 can join the server, how do i make it for everyone to be able to join my server.

my router is now ipv6 and now ipv4 portfowarding isn't available
anyone can help?
im using debian 9 stretch

For those who will find this topic somehow by searching, here's the IRC discussion about this problem:
http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/20 ... #i_5337171

However, the final solution is yet not known (that minute takes a long time).

ok i tried to do alot of things and i still cant get it fixed.

i switched to linux and did a bunch of things, some players with ipv6 can still join but others without it cant (witch is mostly everyone)

do i need to configure my computer to go with IPv4

Sounds like the port forwarding configuration on your router is incorrect.

I don't think his ISP has IPv4
Someone gave me this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/155 ... 6/37388346#
Not sure if that would help

Of course his ISP has IPv4, if it didn't he wouldn't be here since the forum uses v4 exclusively.

its probably something to do with the router, my router changed and got updated and now runs on ipv6.
and my ip is ipv6, if i put my ipv4 on the server_address the server wont go

Biggest mistake for IPv6: It's not backwards compatible

I have IPv6 too. And I have an unique IPv6-Address only for my budget.

And I have IPv4 too. But my IPv4-Address isnt unique. Several budgets use this IPv4-Address. So my IPv4-Address is a distributor.

And thats the reason why he only can host IPv6 servers and no IPv4 servers.

Alright i have been researching for a couple of days, and as i can see people are having lots of problems with the ipv6 and deciding to disable it. so what i did was Disable my IPv6 on my pc and now i need to disable it on my router too, unfortunately i cant do it manually and i will need to call my internet company operator and ask them to turn it off as i know its possible, but i have heard of people wanting to do the same and their operator said no, so they changed their internet company, Hopefully i can get this problem fixed soon as i know how to fix it.

If anyone else is still having this problem please contact me
