The difference between ipv4 and ipv6 is like comparing a flip phone to a smartphone. IPv4 works, but IPv6 does *more*.

IPv6 has enough addresses for every device you’ll ever own, plus better routing and no NAT headaches. Speed? Usually the same. Security? IPv6 has IPSec, but it’s optional.

You can stick with ipv4 for now, but eventually, we’ll all be on ipv6. If you wanna test, [Cloudflare’s ipv6 guide](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ipv6/) is super helpful.
