Can Adblock block on IPv6

Post by BJReplay »

Adblock installed, and working for IPV4.

Running Dual Stack IPV4/IPV6.

Is there a (relatively simple) way of getting adblock to return return ::/0 as well as 0.0.0.0 for adblock listed domains so that it doesn't allow ads to be served from IPV6 servers?

Or is the issue that the entries that still return ads are Aliases?

Testing / Discovery:

Added a custom blacklist entry that looked like it was serving ads: ads.api.vungle.com

Sometimes blocked, sometimes didn't.

Code: Select all

nslookup ads.api.vungle.com
Server:  ea8500.blah.com.au
Address:  fd1d:f232:aa7b::1

Name:    a1799.dscapi2.akamai.net
Addresses:  2600:1415:3800::173f:e872
          2600:1415:3800::173b:a35a
          0.0.0.0
Aliases:  ads.api.vungle.com
          api.vungle.akadns.net
          api-acc2-vungle.edgesuite.net
Looked for similar issues with standard blocklist entries, to rule out black-list processing:

Code: Select all

nslookup ad-apac.doubleclick.net
Server:  ea8500.blah.com.au
Address:  fd1d:f232:aa7b::1

Name:    ad-apac.doubleclick.net
Address:  0.0.0.0
worked as expected.

Code: Select all

nslookup static.doubleclick.net
Server:  ea8500.blah.com.au
Address:  fd1d:f232:aa7b::1

Name:    static-doubleclick-net.l.google.com
Addresses:  2404:6800:4015:800::2006
          0.0.0.0
Aliases:  static.doubleclick.net
Returned an IPV6 address.
