> Well, by breaking it again, naturally. To connect to a raw IPv6 address, you wrap it in square brackets. To connect to 2607:f0d0:1002:51::4 directly, that’s http://[2607:f0d0:1002:51::4]/ http://[2607:f0d0:1002:51::4]/ Why is this a thing?!. It's even sillier in Windows Explorer where UNC IPv6 paths are the IPv6 address "with the ':' characters replaced by '-' characters followed by the '.ipv6-literal.net' string": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnetwk/nf-winnetwk-wnetaddconnection2a#remarks https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnetwk/... For example, I mount my NAS as "\\fd13-c001-7232-1-13--36.ipv6-literal.net"! https://i.imgur.com/waLJRFf.png https://i.imgur.com/waLJRFf.png
