How to set proxy server except for IPv6 Addresses

Question

In Windows 11 Setting --> Network &internet --> Proxy --> Use a proxy server.

There is a textbox with title "Use the proxy server except for addresses ...".

Now, I would like to bypass all the public IPv6 address. I tried to put "[::]" or "[]" or "[2::]" or "[2*:*]" or CIDR notations. But none of them works. Do you know how to achieve that? I mean bypass all the public IPv6 addresses is okay.

Thank you!

Hello,

Utilize Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation to specify ranges. For example, “2001:db8::/32” can cover a specific range of public IPv6 addresses.

In the “Use the proxy server except for addresses” textbox, input the CIDR notation for the public IPv6 range you wish to bypass. For instance, enter “2001:db8::/32”.

Verify the configuration by entering a specific public IPv6 address, such as “2001:db8::1”, to ensure the exception works correctly.

Have a nice day.
