What Is IPv6 and Why It Matters
IPv6 is the next-generation internet protocol replacing IPv4. It allows for a much larger number of unique IP addresses, improved routing, and built-in privacy/security features.
- Supports more devices and connections than IPv4
- Improves end-to-end connectivity for modern networks
- Essential for future-proofing your internet setup
Why U.S. Users Check Their IPv6
- To verify if their ISP or VPN supports IPv6
- For privacy or DNS configuration troubleshooting
- To confirm end-to-end IPv6 tunneling is working
- To debug device behavior or firewall rules in IPv6 networks
How to Get an IPv6 Address
If you're not seeing an IPv6 address, you may need to:
- Enable IPv6 in your router or OS network settings
- Contact your ISP to see if they support IPv6
- Use a VPN provider that supports IPv6 tunnels

Q: Can I get an IPv6 address with a VPN?
A: Some VPNs support IPv6, others don't. Check their documentation.
Q: Is IPv6 more secure?
A: It has built-in security features, but you still need firewalls and HTTPS.
