Most of my hosts have both IPV6 and IPV4 addresses including the netbird management/stun/coturn server itself. Everything works perfectly on these, and they P2P via IPv6. However, when one of these dual stack hosts connects to an ipv4-only host, the connection is always relayed.

A clear and concise description of what the problem is.

Dual host Ipv6 IP <-- relay --> IPv4 only host
Dual host ipv4 IP

Expected behavior

Netbird should somehow detect both IPv6 and IPV4 IPs and do:
Dual host Ipv6 IP
Dual host ipv4 IP <-- p2p --> IPv4 only host

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Self-hosted

NetBird version

0.59.7

Is any other VPN software installed?

No
