      I tried to add the Quad9 DNS servers, 9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112 and 2620:fe::fe and 2620:fe::9 as CoreDNS DNS servers.
      The IPv4 addresses are accepted but entering the IPv6 addresses results in "Invalid address or port".

      Is that supposed to work?

      Edit: adding a screenshot

        @patient0 yeah looks like a parsing isssue - write out the full address vs shorthand

          I confirm, you can't put anything than an IPv4 address . I tried with the Cloudflare address short and full

          2606:4700:4700::1112
          2606:4700:4700:0000:0000:0000:0000:1112

          Has anyone managed to set up an IPv6 address?

            just to clarify: I did try every combination and it didn't work, like

            2620:fe::fe
            2620:fe:0:0:0:0:0:fe
            2620:fe:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:fe
            2620:00fe:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00fe

            Have disabled it again after that and will check back on Nexus in a year or two, so many rough edges.
