Describe the bug
When a Mountain Duck client runs on a dual stack network, connecting to a dual stack server, IPv4 is used instead of IPv6.

To Reproduce

  1. Be on a dual stack network.
  2. Access a dual stack WebDAV server.
  3. Logs show connections over IPv4.

Expected behavior
IPv6 preferred.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows
  • Version Latest

Additional context
Our IPv6 path is faster than IPv4, we have some disappointed users.

You can enable it with the hidden configuration option connection.dns.ipv6=true.

This should default to on in 2023, and at the very least be in the preferences section, not a hidden option.

Our end users are non technical, they can set an option in a dialog box, but asking them to mess around with text files in incomprehensible directories is a step too far for them.
