What's the difference between v4 and v6 PIA Server List #161

What's the difference between v4 and v6 PIA Server List, they seem to have same number of locations. Do I need to use v6 now as v4 is deprecated for example. V6 seams to just have more metadata and extra servers 1-2 more in regions listed instead of showing the best server at the moment to connect to.

v4: https://serverlist.piaservers.net/vpninfo/servers/v4 v6: https://serverlist.piaservers.net/vpninfo/servers/v6

Hey,

the v6 is the currently used version of the apps, with a few more information and a slightly different format, as you already mentioned, but both versions will give you the same locations.

Of course, you should upgrade to the latest version since we might deprecate the v4 in the future.
