IPV6 is not available

Why IPv6 is not available when i use NextDNS. I tried using Cloudflare and ControlD DNS, IPv4 and IPv6 is supported. Any fix for this?

 

PS. Tried setting up NextDNS on Android and Windows. Not on the router.

    All that means is that none of your current resolvers are IPv6. It’s likely that the IPv4 resolver has been used by Android instead of the IPv6 one.

    Try ping.nextdns.io to see if you have IPv6 resolvers available.

    NextDNS uses a lot of infrastructure in many countries to have the fastest speed. Some infrastructure services in that country do not have IPv6, so IPv6 is not available.

    For example, Lightnode service in Vietnam, IPv6 is also not available. But clients already have IPv6, still query through normal IPv4 server. It doesn't matter if there is IPv6 on an ultralow server, it's important if your network ISP connects to that server fast.

       That may well be correct, but even with IPv6 resolvers available, the Android DNS client doesn't necessarily prioritise them over IPv4.

    Hi. I also tried on my computer, which is Windows OS. Still, IPv6 is not available. Tried using other DNS provider and IPv6 is available.
