v1.30.0 – IPv6 Ready? Now You Can Check

This release introduces significant enhancements to Emercom Tools and One-Time Checks, focusing on granular control over IPv4/IPv6 protocols.

IPv6 Protocol Selection

IPv4/IPv6 Protocol Control

You can now specify your preferred IP protocol for checks with three modes:

  • Auto-detect mode – system chooses the protocol automatically
  • IPv4-only mode – forces the use of IPv4 addresses
  • IPv6-only mode – forces the use of IPv6 addresses
Protocol Selection Options

Use Cases for Protocol Selection

This feature is particularly valuable for GeoDNS and Anycast DNS configurations:

  • Check if your IPv6 setup is actually working
  • Verify whether GeoDNS returns different addresses per region across protocols
  • Figure out which protocol is causing problems in dual-stack setups
  • Test anycast functionality on both IPv4 and IPv6

Split Button for Results

A new convenient split button allows opening check results in new browser tabs for side-by-side comparison.
