Quick IPv6 Test
Instantly check if your network supports IPv6. Fast, simple test to verify IPv6 connectivity and dual-stack configuration.
Test your IPv6 connectivity in seconds. Our quick test instantly detects whether your network supports IPv6, IPv4, or both (dual-stack).
Quick IPv6 Test
What is IPv6?
IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, designed to eventually replace IPv4. It provides vastly more IP addresses (340 undecillion vs 4.3 billion) and improved routing efficiency. Dual-stack networks support both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
Understanding Your Results
✅ IPv6 + IPv4 (Dual Stack)
Best configuration. Full internet access to all resources. Your network is future-ready.
IPv4 Only
Standard configuration. Works for all current websites. Consider enabling IPv6 for future compatibility.
IPv6 Only
Modern but may have limited access to IPv4-only services. Most major sites support IPv6.
Why IPv6 Matters
- Address Exhaustion: IPv4 addresses have run out; IPv6 provides 340 undecillion addresses
- Better Performance: More efficient routing and reduced NAT overhead
- Improved Security: IPsec built into the protocol
- Future-Proof: New services increasingly rely on IPv6
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need IPv6?
Not urgently, but it's increasingly important. Most websites still support IPv4, but IPv6 adoption is growing. Having IPv6 ensures future compatibility and may provide performance benefits.
How do I enable IPv6?
Contact your ISP to enable IPv6 on your connection. Most modern routers support IPv6, but it must be activated by your service provider. Some ISPs enable it by default.
Will IPv6 replace IPv4?
Eventually, yes, but the transition will take years. During this period, dual-stack (both IPv4 and IPv6) is the standard configuration, ensuring compatibility with all internet resources.
