Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6):
Testing both for IPv4 and IPv6: www.workingornot.org/.
This tool by me works with a proxy server.
Eg setup for a VPS:
IPv6 address such as 2a01:7c8:d008:32:5054:ff:fee8:665a
The gateway address ends with 1, such as 2a01: 7c8: d008 :: 1.
- AAAA, quad A, is always preferred over A;
The application server can be limited to IPv4 (can come to a dead end); - Value, eg using ODBC, between brackets such as [2a01:7c8:aab1:282::1].
(I do stabilize ODBC with an IPv4 address instead of a domain name)
Find out the IPv6 address:
$ ip -6 addr show
A firewall may block:
In case of non-standard SSH port, open for IPv6 as well.
The IPv6 address of the internet connection can change e.g. every 15 minutes:
