It looks like you've aren't enabled ipv6 support, but completely
switched to ipv6 instead. And now you see all ipv4 connections as
ipv4-mapped ipv6 ones.

To preserve ipv4 as is use explicit listen sockets on ipv4 and
ipv6, i.e.

listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;

(the "ipv6only=on" flag is required if your system by default
tries to handle both ipv6 and ipv4 with ipv6 sockets, and doesn't
allow ipv4 socket to coexist with it; i.e. it's required on most
Linux systems)
