How much IPv6 usage are you seeing?

[RMerlin]

Posting it here to avoid derailing the other thread - if you are curious at how much IPv6 traffic you get while browsing the Internet, look at the Chrome IPvFoo addon. For instance when accessing snbforums, this is what I get here:

The list is truncated because it's too long, but the missing portion below is a fairly similar ratio of IPv4 vs IPv6.

Interesting to see so many ad providers still being IPv4-only.

Last time I checked using the same IPvFoo addon very few sites were using IPv6 only. Mostly Google and Facebook related.

Not yet a good approximation since I restarted the firewall recently, but I think over time this will give a good proxy for the ratio of new IPv4 versus IPv6 connections leaving my LAN.

# iptables -nvL FORWARD | grep pkts; iptables -nvL FORWARD | grep ACCEPT | tail -1; ip6tables -nvL FORWARD | grep ACCEPT | tail -1;
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination        
  527  155K ACCEPT     all  --  br0    *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          
  806  503K ACCEPT     all      br0    eth0    ::/0                 ::/0

  806  503K ACCEPT     all      br0    eth0    ::/0                 ::/0

Interesting result on dual stack, even by my standards.

From the other thread..

IPv6 – Google

nteresting to see so many ad providers still being IPv4-only.

Have to giggle a little bit... with my adblock extensions - it's a pretty short list that get by...

pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 ACCEPT all -- br0 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
3879 1514K ACCEPT all br0 eth0 ::/0 ::/0

IPv6 still winning more than 2:1, surprisingly.

 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
10702 4268K ACCEPT     all  --  br0    *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0 
22378   14M ACCEPT     all      br0    eth0    ::/0                 ::/0

I don't think this command works for IPv4 on 3004.388.x.

# iptables -nvL FORWARD | grep ACCEPT | tail -1
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  br0    *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

# iptables -nvL FORWARD | grep ACCEPT
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 767K  236M ACCEPT     all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            state RELATED,ESTABLISHED

    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  br0    *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0

This intrigued me because when I first tried this (with adblockers turned off - on I mirror @sfx2000) I got:

That was with FireFox. But if I use Edge or Chrome, I get:

Edit: Some of the IPv6 test sites give startlingly different results dependent on the browser used!
