IPv6 is now enabled by default

As the internet gradually moves to IPv6, all new deployments and reinstalls now include an IPv6 address.

This means you no longer have to request an IPv6 address, and your servers will now include a /64 address by default.

Also, you will see the IPv6 address showing up on the device page and the API for currently deployed servers. To make the new IP work with your server, you can set it manually on the device or trigger a reinstall.

Filter servers by region

Server filtering allows you to select servers that match certain criteria. You can set a filter that will show all available servers that are located in a region, leaving out all of the other ones.

This is especially useful for projects with many servers so you can more easily find and manage your bare metal servers around the world.
