Understanding IPv6

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the newest internet addressing system, created because the world ran out of the roughly 4.3 billion addresses available in IPv4. An IPv6 address is 128 bits long and written as eight groups of hexadecimal digits, for example 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334, often shortened by collapsing zero groups to 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334.

Do I have IPv6?

If the IPv6 field above shows an address, your connection is IPv6-enabled. If it says "Not detected," your network is currently IPv4-only, which is still very common and perfectly fine. Whether you get IPv6 depends on your ISP, your router settings and the network you are on.

IPv6 vs IPv4 at a glance

Length: IPv4 is 32-bit (≈4.3 billion addresses); IPv6 is 128-bit (340 undecillion addresses).
Format: IPv4 uses decimal dotted notation; IPv6 uses hexadecimal with colons.
NAT: IPv6 gives devices globally unique addresses, reducing reliance on network address translation.

Frequently asked questions

What is my IPv6 address?

Your IPv6 address is the modern, longer form of IP address your device uses online, written in hexadecimal like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334. The tool above shows your public IPv6 address if your network and ISP support it.

Why does it say 'Not detected' for IPv6?

It means your current network connected over IPv4 only. Plenty of home and mobile networks haven't enabled IPv6 yet. This is normal, and your internet will work fine. You just don't have a public IPv6 address right now.

Is IPv6 better than IPv4?

IPv6 offers a vastly larger address space, more efficient routing, and removes the need for some forms of address translation (NAT). For everyday browsing you will not notice a difference, but IPv6 is the long-term future of the internet.

Should I disable IPv6?

Usually no. IPv6 is safe and increasingly required. Only disable it for specific troubleshooting if a particular app or VPN misbehaves, and re-enable it afterwards.
