A lot of NextDNS websites are missing IPv6

This is something that I would argue is a bug for most modern websites but ESPECIALLY for a DNS/Internet infra company like NextDNS. Specifically my.nextdns.io and even this help center are inaccessible from IPv6 only networks. I bring this up because all of my nets are v6 only and while my client networks have NAT64 none of my server networks do, I just normally don't need to get to the my.nextdns.io portal from those nets and the API is behind cloudflare.

    Given my recent experience with the reliability of the anycast IPv6 DNS servers and recurrent wonky IPv6 routing I get the feeling that IPv6 is not really a priority for NextDNS.

    There's no excuse for poor IPv6 support in 2024, or for websites to be without it. It's not exactly hard to add.

      I can't say I've had too many issues with their IPv6 but I find it really weird that they're missing IPv6 in places when the setup page recommends using IPv6 for regular unencrypted DNS due to the ability to embed the profile identifier in the address. I really like the features NextDNS provides and it works well enough but if I knew of a more v6 friendly option I'd probably go there.
