What’s IPv6 & Why Is It Important?

What’s IPv6 & Why Is It Important?

IPv4 – Internet Protocol version 4 – is the current technology that assigns unique IP addresses to devices trying to connect to the Internet. Using 32 bits, IPv4 can support 2^32 IP addresses. That’s about 4.29 billion. Sounds like a lot, but they’ve all been fully allocated, prompting the creation of IPv6.

IPv6 has a superior capacity for far more numerical addresses using 128 bits (that’s 3.4 x 10^38 possible addresses), which would be more than enough even if every single individual owned a billion devices. The bad news is, it will take time and money for a complete transition to IPv6, as all devices, operating systems, and ISPs would need to support both protocols concurrently in the interim.

The good news? hide.me VPN now offers IPv6 support on all servers across all locations, enabling seamless encrypted connectivity across all devices on both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.

Protection Against IPv6 Leaks

Protection Against IPv6 Leaks

As most VPNs are not yet providing IPv6 support, whenever you try to access an IPv6 website, the Internet traffic is excluded from the encrypted VPN tunnel and routed directly through the ISP instead. This defeats the purpose of using a VPN and leaves you susceptible to IP leaks and vulnerable to being monitored.

Dual Stack Solution

Dual Stack Solution

hide.me VPN uses a dual stack configuration to deliver IPv6 connectivity, which supports both IPv4 and IPv6. This ensures seamless protected connectivity on both protocols.

Faster Downloads

IPv4 and IPv6 Internet doesn’t necessarily use the same infrastructure. In fact, IPv6 networks might offer faster speed due to less congestion on IPv6 infrastructure. This creates an opportunity for you to experience higher download speed.

#1 Don’t disable IPv6 support on your device

Leaving the feature turned on only provides you with an added layer of protection. It won’t compromise your Internet security in any way. If anything, it’s an insurance against accidental IPv6 leaks.

#2 How to setup IPv6 VPN

You don't need to change your VPN setup to enjoy IPv6 support. The VPN connection will be configured automatically and all our locations support it.

#3 IPv6 connectivity

If you see an IPv6 address on an IP check despite your ISP not supporting IPv6, that’s the public IP address of the hide.me VPN server.
