IPv6 test
Does your connection support IPv6, IPv4, or both?

Testing…
The test contacts ipify's IPv4-only and IPv6-only servers, plus Speedhound, to see which protocols reach the internet.
No IPv6? What to check
- Your provider must support IPv6. Many large providers do; some smaller ones and many apartment networks don't.
- Turn on IPv6 in the router's internet (WAN) settings. Common modes are "Native", "DHCPv6" or "Auto".
- VPNs often disable IPv6 to prevent leaks. Test with the VPN off.
Missing IPv6 is rarely a problem today: almost every site still works over IPv4.

Questions
Do I need IPv6?
Not usually. Nearly everything still works over IPv4. IPv6 can help with some games and peer-to-peer apps, and avoids carrier-grade NAT on providers that use it for IPv4.
Is IPv6 faster?
Sometimes slightly, because it can avoid NAT and take different routes, but for most people the difference is small.
