This video explains whether it is possible to connect to the internet using only IPv4 or IPv6 protocols alone, and what happens when one of these is disabled. It demonstrates how devices use both protocols and the limitations of running solely one version.
Keypoints :
- Modern devices typically have both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols enabled to ensure full internet connectivity.
- Disabling IPv4 still allows access to websites that support only IPv6, such as YouTube and Google, through IPv6 addresses.
- Websites that rely solely on IPv4, like Starlink in the example, become inaccessible if IPv4 is disabled.
- Running only IPv6 may restrict access to certain sites that do not support IPv6, leading to connection issues.
- The device’s IP configuration can show multiple IP addresses depending on the protocols enabled.
- Connecting to the internet effectively requires support for both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols in most cases.
- Understanding network protocol compatibility is essential for troubleshooting and maintaining reliable internet access.
