Manage IPv6 access policies

cPFence v4+ IPDB supports IPv6 addresses and CIDRs alongside IPv4. Available country policies include both address families.

The address field accepts either IP family; review the policy and server. Select the image for full size; use browser Back to return.

1. Open IPDB Firewall & IP Tools → IP Allow & Block Lists.
2. Use IP version to find IPv6 entries, or add the intended IPv6 address/CIDR with Add IP or CIDR.
3. Review the server and policy before confirming.
4. Check the address and verify the intended IPv6 connection.

The same add/remove CLI commands accept either family. For example, as root:

Action	Command
Add to whitelist	cpfence --add-whitelist-ip 2001:db8::10
Remove from whitelist	cpfence --del-whitelist-ip 2001:db8::10

Replace the documentation address. For file editing, choose the correct IPv4/IPv6 list in Edit Configuration Files.

Test both connection paths

An IPv4 result does not prove the IPv6 policy works, or vice versa. Keep alternative administrator access when changing either family, and review country policy counts before assuming both datasets are available.
