    Question IPV4 vs IPV6? Which should i choose?

    Hi guys, i was just helping a member here setting their proxies and explaining how I do to keep my accounts safe.

    I use blazing proxies and have 0 complaints about it, but while this member was creating their account they noticed you are offered ipv4 and ipv6 proxies (when i first made my account only ipv4 were available and i've not paid attention to that)

    What called my attention is that while each minimal order of 5 ips for ipv4 goes for 7usd, the ipv6 has a minimum package of 25 ips, but it goes for only 5usd :o considering for example me that used 15 private proxies it would be a huge savings in the long run.

    I did some quick research and apparently ipv6 is cheaper because if has more addresses available, but apparently they are not as fast? Has anyone already used an ipv6 before and could share their experience with us?

    The proxy entension i use apparently makes no distinction between ipv4s or 6s, would love to hear more about this and maybe save and help some others save some $ while securing their accounts.

    Edit: while i wait on a possible answer, i just ordered a pack to test and i'll share what i notice here, since i already had the ipv4 plan up, i was able to get only 5 ipv6 proxies for 1 dolar extra instead of the minimal 25 proxies.

    Edit2: neopets isn't compatible with ipv6 proxies apparently, so i wouldn't be able to use it, and the configuration seems a bit harder than ipv4 so if a mod seems it, feel free to block the thread, if you have something to point about it, feel free to post it here <3

    For me, it made no IPv4 or IPv6 difference.
    I know there are a lot more IPv6 than IPv4 maybe this explains the price. In IPv4 we have 4,294,967,296 addresses, while in the IPv6 we have a total of 340,282,282,282,282,282,282,282,282,282,282,282,28 2,282,463,463,374,607,431,974,607,431,768,212,456 IP addresses. Some people believe that IPv6 is faster, since it is "less used" and has simplified routing. Others say he is slower, since he has fewer routers and Hops. But in my test, it made no difference.

    i was able to use a site that tells which sites have support for ipv6 and neopets dont unfortunatelly. but tysm for sharing you experience!
