The IPv6 prefix length to define the client subnet.
Warning! EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) option when enabled will compromises user's privacy since the DNS server will send the user's public IP network subnet to name servers or forwarders when resolving requests. When not using encrypted DNS protocols, this information can also be read passively by anyone on the network.
Note! EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) option allows passing the user's client subnet information to name servers or forwarders so that the response may contain IP addresses of servers closer to the user's geographic region. EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) option thus is only useful when the DNS server is hosted in a geographically different region compared to the users that are configured to use it.
