   Hello Richard,   
      
   On Monday July 15 2019 23:06, you wrote to me:

    MV>> For the IPv4 test, IPvFox says I am connected via IPv4 but the   
    MV>> button still says "Connected via IPv6". I know why that is, I ran   
    MV>> into that problem before.;-)   
      
    RM> Why?   
      
   This part:   
      
   
       ipv6 test       

              

              Even when I use ipv4.menedetter.net and so have my system connect to your's by       IPv4, the above code is executed on MY system and it calls ipv6-test.com over       IPv6 because my system supports IPv6. And so ipv6-test.com reports that I       connect by IPv6.              The button reports how I connect to ipv6-test.com, not how I connect to YOU.               RM>>> The speedtest is not extremely accurate, but IMO it is good        RM>>> enough to get an estimate.               MV>> My provider says I have 50/5               RM> For IPv4 it sounds good.        RM> Question is why is IPv6 so much slower.              I don't know. But it is not incidental. The speed varies a bit but the       difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is consistent. IPv6 speed is about half of       IPv4.               RM> And if the problem is on my side or yours or both ;)              Other dual stack speed tests perforned from here show no consistent sigificant       difference between IPv4 and IPv6...                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 19/10 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 226/17 229/354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 423/120 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5019/40 5020/545 1042       SEEN-BY: 5020/12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426
