Last time I checked it couldn't do ipv6... in 2026?

Could be intentional: German privacy advocates really like that the limited ipv4 pool forces reusing IPs and prevents accidental imprinting a practically static address on a device.

Can't do IPv6 internally or externally? Internally there should be zero need for ~infinite addresses. Externally though I certainly hope all software is capable of operating via IPv6 at this point because otherwise it will only be increasingly broken.

Makes a lot of sense.

But self-hosting still require at least a public domain name [0], so here goes your privacy right?

Since it already uses DNS it's disappointing that it hardcodes ports instead of using SRV records. IMO anything that can use SRV records should. It makes for a more robust internet.

		The number of products that actually use SRV records is surprisingly low (besides some mailservers and kerberos)

IPv6 is coming soon to NetBird.
