Odd. Because this only happens when I use the RELAY6 method when locally accessing my website. When I used the netsh method, I always connected via IPv6. And wneh connected other websites aroud the world, IPv6 is the preferred method.

Check

Set to true here...

Dynamic.

I don't know. They do not seem to know themselves either...
