It indicates that your `daemon.json` has not been configured correctly or had the updated config applied for `ip6tables :true` + `experimental: true`. Make sure you used `systemctl restart docker` after updating `daemon.json`. + !!! info "IPv6 ULA address priority" DNS lookups that have records for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (_eg: `localhost`_) may prefer IPv4 over IPv6 (ULA) for private addresses, whereas for public addresses IPv6 has priority. This shouldn't be anything to worry about, but can come across as a surprise when testing your IPv6 setup on the same host instead of from a remote client.
