Fynd crawlers now support IPv6, along with IPv4.
The Fynd website has supported IPv6 for a while, and now the crawlers are set up the same way. This means we run in a dual stack setup and can connect to sites using either type of address.
If you’re not familiar, IP addresses are how computers find websites. IPv4 is the older format most people know, while IPv6 is the newer one that allows for many more addresses. As the internet grows, more sites are starting to use IPv6.
With this update, our crawlers can reach sites over IPv6 just like they already do with IPv4. This helps make sure we don’t miss parts of the open web.
There’s nothing site owners need to change. Everything continues to work the same.
