I'd imagine the app should work over IPv6-only networks thanks to 464xlat. I may be wrong, because I've never tested it on a IPv6-only network.
The reason for IPv6 is two fold:
1. Firewall today simply stores classless IP address rules as strings in a sqlite table fronted by a lfu cache backed by a typical hash-map. With IPv6, I'd imagine, this won't scale. So, we need a more economical in-memory data-structure (like a crit-bit trie [0] or art tree).
2. Apparently LwIP has problems with HappyEyeballs (I personally never saw it, but got a couple of reports from users about it that it was an unrecoverable error once the connectivity was lost, and the firewall had to be restarted). We're in the process of replacing LwIP with gvisor/netstack now [2], just to get IPv6 support back on track.
