Research direction

Start in the Desktop-App entry point by reproducing the request against a host whose IPv6 address refuses connections while its IPv4 address works, using the reported dig AAAA and dig +short A commands. Trace the connection behavior and verify that a reachable IPv4 address is tried when the default IPv6 connection fails.

Description

issue
Describe your issue?

When I try to connect to a server which accepts IPv4 but not IPv6, then I get "Error Connection Refused".
While when I use terminal, the request goes smoothly.

Repro steps
  1. Open the Requestly App.
  2. Send a Request to any server which bydefaults to an IPv6 Address when we use "dig AAAA" but doesn't accept request on that address instead does on the IPv4 Address that is returned by doing "dig +short A".
  3. Send a Request via Requestly.
