Comment on All Windows users should immediately update their computers. An exploit rated 9.8/10 (CVE-2024-38063) compromises all devices running Windows with an IPv6 address.
IPv6 is enabled by default on windows.
I’ve just queried it my IP is V4 so presumably I’m fine.
you can have both addresses at the same time - this site shows both if you have them: whatismyipaddress.com
Or, just type ping -6 google.com from a command prompt. It won't work if you don't have ipv6.
ping -6 google.com
Depending on your ISP and network setup, you could very well have both v4 and v6 addresses.
