Title: IPv6 – Cloudflare Last modified: May 31, 2017 --- # IPv6 – Cloudflare * Resolved [catmaniax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catmaniax/) * (@catmaniax) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/) * Hello Jason! * After testing out for a while I’ve found out that if I disable the IPv6 Compatibility in Cloudflare, the IPs get restored and shown as the common/traditional IPs, as well as the Country (with Cloudflare active the country icon is not showing any flag but an image icon and hovering on it says Unknown). * Any chance or way Slimstat could be more compatible with Cloudflare in the future? Or maybe there is some configuration guide for Cloudflare to not overwrite Slimstat’s functionality? * Please let me know. Thanks! * **EDIT:** One more thing, I forgot. Hitting the infosniper button opens infosniper. net in a new window instead of a lightbox, any idea why? - This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [catmaniax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catmaniax/).

Because Caching Preloading is really great and helpful and makes every site loads fast. * Sorry for the so many questions, I’m trying to help with my way for Slimstat 🙂 * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/2/#post-9002862) * It sounds like the “Preload Cache” interferes with the tracker. You may want to ask the WP-Rocket developers for a solution. * Best, Jason * Thread Starter [catmaniax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catmaniax/) * (@catmaniax) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/2/#post-9003040) * I will. But can you check too, since you said you use WP-Rocket as well? * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/2/#post-9003084) * I did.

Our plan does not have this option anyway, that’s why we CAN’T enable (touch) it. * Jason * Thread Starter [catmaniax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catmaniax/) * (@catmaniax) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/2/#post-9014921) * Thanks for the reply Jason! * I’m referring to your Cloudflare settigns in general with using WP Rocket, for example their Speed/Caching/Firewall/PageRules/etc. tabs. * I’m using their free plan also, so I can’t touch “Prefetching URLs From HTTP Headers” too. * Also, setting their “IPv6 Compatibility” to Off seems to restore the original IP and not show the IPv6 and also show the correct info on Slimstat (like the country flag), but I’m not sure if I should keep that option to Off. * What do you think? * Plugin Contributor [Jason Crouse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolmann/) * (@coolmann) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/2/#post-9015118) * It depends on what’s the percentage of visitors using IPv6 you have. In our case it’s about 5% of the total, so that’s fine for us, but your mileage may vary. * Best, Jason * Thread Starter [catmaniax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catmaniax/) * (@catmaniax) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ipv6-cloudflare/page/3/#post-9020326) * Ok, but what happens for those who use IPv6, what’s the downside?
