IP v6 is not working, ipv6.icanhazip service is down

[LazaroOnline]

Cannot get IP v6, the service https://ipv6.icanhazip.com/ seems down, or maybe it was moved, anyhow this library is not working for v6 anymore following the examples. The browser displays this error: ipv6.icanhazip.com’s server IP address could not be found. Maybe the service maintainers deleted the DNS for the "ipv6" subdomain.

IP v4 does work.

Testing code:

const publicIp = require('public-ip');
(async () => {
    console.log(await publicIp.v6());
})();

public-ip version: 3.2.0 I submited the issue to major/icanhaz here.

Probably you are seeing the same issue I see from my computer, the resolver I'm using can't find the host because it's using A records to resolve and no A record is defined on ipv6.icanhazip.com, only AAAA records are. I tested from some online services to see if it was actually working and it seems to be.

https://ipv6.icanhazip.com/ loads fine for me.

I tried from a home network, office network, phone 4G network, all with the same ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error.

If it is a network configuration error, does anyone knows how to solve it or how to make it work? Also if this is normal then it would be nice to add a note in readme.md near the usage section to alert the users.

@LazaroOnline Do you actually have a IPv6 connection? Test here: https://ipv6-test.com

It seems I only have IPv4, but I don't know if it is a problem with the router, my device, my ISP...

https://ipv6-test.com restuls:

IPv4 connectivity:

• IPv4: Supported
• ... (other fields with it's IPv4 values setted)

  IPv6 connectivity:

• IPv6: Not supported
• the rest of IPv6 fields are shown empty.
• Score: 4/20

  Browser:

• Default: IPv4
• Fallback: No

  DNS:

• DNS4 + IP6: Unreachable
• DNS6 + IP4: Reachable
• DNS6 + IP6: Unreachable

Closing as there's nothing for us to fix.
