"Can someone explain the key difference between ipv4 and ipv6 in simple terms?"
Hey folks! So I’ve been hearing a lot about ipv4 and ipv6, but tbh, I’m still kinda confused. What’s the *actual* difference between ipv4 and ipv6?
From what I gather, ipv4 is the older version with way fewer addresses (like, we’re running out lol), while ipv6 has a TON more and is more efficient. But like… does that mean I *need* to switch? Or can I just stick with ipv4 for now?
Also, is one faster or more secure? Or is it just about the address space?
Thanks in advance for dumbing it down for me! 🙏
(ps. if this has been asked a million times, sorry! my search skills are weak today 😅)
