In setting up IPv6 on my home network, I naturally wanted to find an easy way to test out my IPv6 connectivity and see if it worked. While I’ve used a whole number of sites over the past year or so, I recently stumbled upon a very simple and easy service at:

http://ipv6-test.com

When you visit the site, it will test whether you have IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity from the browser you are using to visit the site.

Here’s what the page looks like if you are running IPv6 (with my actual addresses covered over because I’m a paranoid security guy):

You can also do a “speed test” for both IPv6 and IPv4. I found my IPv6 speed was only slightly slower than my IPv4 speed, but that would make sense since I’m using Tunnelbroker.net to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 from my home network out to the native IPv6 cloud.

Anyway, ipv6-test.com is a useful site for those of you experimenting with IPv6.

Any other test sites you like to use?
