Stripe Terminal doesn't support IPv6 - throws 'unable to resolve host' error

Hi @awazgyawali,

Fantastic plugin - just wanted to flag to other users that might experience the same issue as me. Using a Stripe BBPOS WisePOS E as an internet reader I wasn't able to connect to the Stripe reader initially - I was getting the following error.

Unable to resolve host "192-168-248-61.nwd72wa5njobbzccXXXX.device.stripe-terminal-local-reader.net": No address associated with hostname

Eventually I found this page: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/readers/bbpos-wisepos-e#troubleshooting

Stripe Terminal also requires that your reader be assigned an IP address in one of the private IPv4 address blocks.

Thought it was worth flagging, as they mention on the above link, you can proxy your connection through another router to get an IPv4 - hopefully it might save someone else some time.

Thanks again.

Closing - it's not an open issue - just worth having in the issue list.
