I just googled some IPv6 test tools and they all say "IPv6 not supported". Is there a way to find out why? If it's my settings, machine, my router, my provider.

- the8472 9y agomodern operating systems have ipv6 support out of the box. so it likely is your ISP or the router. Even if the ISP supports ipv6 they might only roll it out to new customers. Beware though, some ISPs may switch to CGNAT via DS-Lite for IPv4 when they change you to a IPv6 setup.
- ac29 9y agoTry running 'ip addr' in Linux or 'ipconfig' in Windows. Do you even have a IPv6 address assigned to any interface? If not, it is your router or ISP, most likely.
- TekMol 9y agoI'm on Linux. Yes, looks like my machine has ipv6. It shows an ipv6 address in the output of "ip addr".
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoIf it's just a link-local address that doesn't tell you anything at all.
- scott_karana 9y agoYour router's LAN switch might support IPv6, but it might not support it on its WAN/NAT side, or you might not have any public IPv6 addresses assigned by your ISP, or no tunneling configured, etc.
