Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IPv6 test?
An IPv6 test checks whether your current internet connection can communicate over IPv6 and can display your public IPv6 address when available.
How do I know if I have IPv6?
Run this IPv6 test. If the test successfully connects to the IPv6 endpoint and detects an IPv6 address, your connection has working IPv6 connectivity.
Why does my IPv6 test fail?
The test can fail when your ISP, router, device, or current network does not provide IPv6 connectivity. Some networks support IPv4 only.
Is IPv6 faster than IPv4?
IPv6 is not automatically faster than IPv4. Performance depends on your network, ISP, routing, server, and other connection factors.
What does an IPv6 address look like?
An IPv6 address uses hexadecimal characters separated by colons, for example 2001:db8::1. The address shown by this tool will be your detected public IPv6 address when available.
Can I use IPv6 and IPv4 at the same time?
Yes. Many modern networks use dual-stack connectivity, allowing devices to communicate using both IPv4 and IPv6.
Is the IPv6 test free?
Yes. This online IPv6 connectivity test is free to use.
Does IPv6 work on mobile networks?
Some mobile networks support IPv6, while others may use IPv4, IPv6, or transition technologies. The result depends on your carrier and current network configuration.
