IPv4 & IPv6 observations

Run the check to see the measured values.

IPv4/IPv6 checks contact Localtonet and may use ipify when a Localtonet endpoint cannot be reached. A failed check does not prove IPv6 is unavailable on your network.

How it works Guidance & troubleshooting

Understand your connectivity

IPv6 is a newer IP addressing protocol with a much larger address space than IPv4. A dual-stack connection supports both, but a normal website visit only shows the path your browser selected for that request.

This test uses separate IPv4-only and IPv6-only endpoints so each path is checked independently. IPv4/IPv6 checks contact Localtonet and may use ipify when a Localtonet endpoint cannot be reached. The measurements identify the service used for each observation. If IPv6 is not confirmed, review the ISP-facing router and VPN settings, then repeat the test on another network to narrow down the cause.

Both confirmed

Your connection reached both dedicated endpoints. This is evidence of working dual-stack connectivity on the tested paths.

IPv6 confirmed

Your browser reached the IPv6-only endpoint over IPv6, with no IPv4 fallback on that hostname.

IPv6 not confirmed

Your ISP, VPN, firewall or DNS settings may be involved. A temporary failed request does not prove IPv6 is permanently unavailable.

What to try next

Check your router and VPN IPv6 settings, then check again. Test after a network change to compare the result.

Common questions
Can the regular website use IPv4 when IPv6 works?

Yes. On a dual-stack hostname, the browser chooses a working path. That choice does not describe every available path.

Can a VPN affect IPv6?

Yes. A VPN may support, block or route IPv6 separately from IPv4.

Does a failed test mean my ISP has no IPv6?

No. DNS, routing, browser policy or a temporary endpoint issue can also prevent the request.
