# Cloudflare Mesh Can Finally Visit Your IPv6 Home!

Hi there, I'm Shiichan! Today I found a quiet but handy networking update, so let me share it with you.

## What was announced?

[Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/) nodes can now advertise **IPv6 subnets**. This one comes from the [Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/) Changelog.

Where it used to be IPv4 only, IPv6 is now added, so you can expose both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets through your Mesh nodes.

## The story so far

Cloudflare Mesh connects your devices so they can reach private networks, but until now the routes a node could advertise were limited to IPv4 subnets.

That made the IPv6 side of things - IPv6-only internal networks, or the IPv6 half of a dual-stack setup - harder to reach through Mesh alone.

## What changes

From now on, **IPv6-only** or **dual-stack** private networks behind a Mesh node become reachable from any enrolled device.

If you run internal systems built around IPv6, this is a small but genuinely nice win.

## Dive Deep

Setup is refreshingly simple: you add an IPv6 route with the **exact same process as an IPv4 route**. Standard IPv6 CIDR notation works as-is, and the changelog uses `fd00::/64` as its example.

```
fd00::/64
```

You can configure it from the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/mesh) or programmatically via the API. For the step-by-step, check the [route-adding docs](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/routes/#add-a-route).

## Wrap-up

- Cloudflare Mesh nodes can now advertise **IPv6 CIDR routes**
- You can expose both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets through Mesh
- Adding a route is the same as IPv4, using standard IPv6 CIDR like `fd00::/64`
- Configure it from the dashboard or via the API

This one quietly lands for anyone wiring up IPv6-only or dual-stack internal networks with Cloudflare One!
