| SYSTEM INFORMATION | | | --- | --- | | OS type and version | Ubuntu 24.04 | | Webmin version | 2.202 | | Usermin version | 2.102 | Does usermin listen on IPV6 by default or is there a setting somewhere to switch on IPV6 ? Had a look around the usermin settings & couldn’t find anything or is it the case that usermin is IPV4 only ? ---

@jimr1, Usermin binds to port 20000 on all known devices and should support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols if setup correctly on your system. ---

I see this ![image](https://cdn.forum.virtualmin.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/2/825acb7936ab109ae539e775d06c35080268d9bd.png) as you can see usermin is not listening on IPV6, I have tried on 5 usermin installations, 3 of those are stock Virtualmin installs and I get the same results across the board ---

@jimr1, Webmin \> Usermin Configuration \> Ports and Addresses You need to enable. ---

Interesting. Dont use it, so never noticed. It should allow ipv6 by default IMO. Maybe for future releases it the devs can set this as default. ---

> [@lawk](#): > > the devs can set this as default. I added an IPV6 address via webmin and it detected it automatically, I wrongly expected that if webmin had correctly identified IPV6 that it would apply IPV6 to usermin at the same time. I have found some other anomalies with in webmin when IPV6 is applied to a webmin system, but I’ll leave this alone in this thread as it would be off topic. ---
