IPv6 Test

IPv6 adoption is growing fast, but many networks still rely solely on IPv4. Find out which protocol your connection is actually using.

Checking IPv6 support…

Why does IPv6 matter?

IPv4 address space has been exhausted for years, forcing most networks to rely on layers of network address translation (NAT) to share a limited pool of public addresses among many devices. IPv6 solves this with a vastly larger address space, simpler routing, and better end-to-end connectivity — which increasingly matters for peer-to-peer applications, gaming, and modern CDN performance. Knowing whether your connection supports IPv6 helps you understand how your traffic is actually routed across the internet.
