I used https://test-ipv6.com/. It failed "Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites. [more info]". "more info" shows v6ns test failure. If this test fails: it means that the DNS resolver you are using, requires IPv4 to reach the DNS authoritative servers of your favorite web sites
However this appears to be fine:
dig @::1 aaaa aaaa.v6ns.test-ipv6.com
; <<>> DiG 9.20.7 <<>> @::1 aaaa aaaa.v6ns.test-ipv6.com
; (1 server found)

Do you operate your own DNS resolvers?
If you operated the DNS resolvers in use at your home or organization, enabling IPv6 on your DNS server is easy.- ISC BIND: Make sure that IPv6 support is compiled in when you ./configure it. It is enabled by default. If you recently added IPv6 to your server, simply restart your named process, as you normally would.
- PowerDNS: Configure query-local-address6 in your recursor.conf. Restart powerdns.
- Windows Server 2003: Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 at a minimum. Windows 2003 will resolve AAAA records, and supports IPv6 clients, but does *not* do DNS resolution over IPv6.
