Hello Alex

You probably mean you've got a v4-mapped IPv6 address, as
	::ffff:192.0.2.1

You should code as:

	bool ok;
	quint32 ipv4 = hostaddr.toIPv4Address(&ok);
	if (ok) {
		// check my IPv4 ACL
	} else if (hostaddr.protocol() == QAbstractSocket::IPv6Protocol) {
		// check my IPv6 ACL
	} else {
		// uh... what?
	}
