Does viewtube support ipv6?

[iamtherobin]

I want to deploy a youtube frontend and possibly make it open to the public. Does viewtube support connecting to youtube exclusive by ipv6 with a ipv6 rotator solution like invidious? If it doesn't, this makes it a no go for me. With google cracking down on privacy harder ever, running a public youtube frontend will only get many ipv4 addresses banned.

This function should now be considered essential for all frontend developers.

I think using an ipv6 proxy or similar should be possible. ViewTube uses undici internally for requests.
Putting the system behind a proxy would work or using the environment variable VIEWTUBE_PROXY_URL, you can specify a proxy for it to use: https://viewtube.wiki/configuration/advanced#proxy.

I haven't tested any of this with ipv6 tho, so please let me know if it doesn't work.

I'll have look into doing a forward proxy later. A quick peek a squid docs shows it supports ipv6 but didn't immediately see a documented way to ensure it only operated in ipv6.

If someone knows how to setup a simple forwarding proxy that only use ipv6, it would be helpful to point to an online guide.
