Websites like ipv6-test.com and test-ipv6.com say that my browser is using IPv4 by default.
This happens on Firefox and LibreWolf. I have tried creating a new profile without add-ons as well. Ungoogled Chromium uses IPv6 by default. If I go to ifconfig.io using Firefox, IPv4 is displayed. But if I use Ungoogled Chromium, IPv6 is displayed.
Is there a way to force IPv6?
I am not bothered by this, but using tools like ping6
and traceroute6
assures me that IPv6 routing is faster for, at least, one of my ISPs.
Pinging my server in Frankfurt, DE, from my home in India, the ping speed using IPv4 is ~300ms, and using IPv6 is ~270ms.
