IPv4 vs IPv6? The difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is mostly about scale and design. IPv4 is running out of gas, IPv6 is the electric car of the internet.

IPv6 has way more addresses, better multicast, and no NAT nonsense. Speed? Similar for most stuff. Security? IPv6 *can* be better, but it’s not magic.

You don’t *have* to switch yet, but it’s coming. Try [ipv6-test.com](http://ipv6-test.com/) to see if you’re already using it.
