I am trying to deploy Twingate Connector within my private Railway network but it seems Twingate only works with ipv4, while private Railway network only works with ipv6. Seems like resources are just not resolvable with AAAA record on private dns

also, according to this doc

Log into the Connector (if running on a VM) and try to look up an unqualified domain, e.g., nslookup employeeportal. If it doesn’t resolve, it will not work through Twingate.

so my nslookup api.railway.internal doesn't work

Hello,

Yep, Twingate only works with IPv4, and the private network is IPv6 only, so it just won't work unfortunately.

Perhaps you are interested in our Tailscale guide instead? -

Best,

Here you go -

You might not be trying to use it as an Exit Node, but the same applies for all of its usecases.
