Does WAF Protect Traffic from Both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses?

WAF can inspect requests from both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the same domain name.

WAF can inspect requests that use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the same domain name.
For web services that still use the IPv4 protocol stack, WAF uses the NAT64 mechanism to translate external IPv6 access traffic to internal IPv4 traffic. NAT64 is an IPv6 conversion mechanism that enables communication between IPv6 and IPv4 hosts using a form of network address translation (NAT).
For regions that support IPv6 protection, see Functions.

Only the professional and platinum editions (cloud mode) support IPv6 protection.
