Short description: None

This is a comparison of applications in regard to their support of the IPv6 protocol.

Application | OS | Version | IPv6 Support | Notes

|
|
|
|

Android Studio | Windows |  | No  | Cannot download SDK components from behind a NAT64, requires native IPv4
Arduino Studio  | Windows  |  | No  | Cannot download board definitions from behind a NAT64, requires native IPv4
Avid Sibelius License Server | Windows  | All  | No  | The license server only binds to and listens on IPv4
Avigilon Control Center  | Windows  | All  | No  | Neither the server, client nor cameras support IPv6
Bromcom MIS  | Windows  | All  | Partial  | Bromcom MIS will work on an IPv6 only network, however the access-control lists do not support IPv6 and have to be removed from a user's account directly in the SQL database. Bromcom does not officially support IPv6.
Google Chrome | Windows  | 47+  | Yes  |
Mozilla Firefox | Windows  | 46 (Tested)  | Yes  | Supports IPv6 addresses under Windows using brackets as [IPv6]:port
Microsoft Internet Explorer | Windows  | 11  | Yes  | Supports IPv6 addresses under Windows using brackets as [IPv6]:port
Windows File Explorer | Windows  | Tested with Windows 7–10, maybe XP | Yes  | Supports IPv6 addresses in the address field, using \\\fe80--abcd-eff0.ipv6-literal.net using dashes instead of colons.
Microsoft Exchange Server[1] | Windows  | 2013+  | Yes  |
Internet Explorer[1] | Windows  | 9+  | Yes  |
Microsoft SQL Server[1] | Windows  | 2005+  | Yes  |
Microsoft Windows Server Update Services[1] | Windows  | 4.0  | Yes  | WSUS will work in an IPv6 only network, however Microsoft's Windows Update servers are only available over IPv4 so either an IPv6 transition mechanism will be needed, or a proxy server.
Mosh | Linux | 1.2.5+  | Yes  |
PuTTY | All  | 0.66+  | Yes  |
Sage 200cloud | Windows  | v2015 and v2016  | Partial  | Sage 200 mostly works in an IPv6 environment as it is based on Microsoft IIS. Activation will not work over IPv6 or using a proxy server so the Sage application server needs to have an IPv4 address to activate. The Sage 200 task launch will also fail to run if the IPv6 stack is uninstalled.
Skype for Business | Windows  | All  | Partial  | The Skype for Business client supports IPv6 only networks where the IPv4 stack is not bound to a network adapter, however it will crash if the IPv4 stack is uninstalled.
Smoothwall
SWG, UTM and WAM  | Linux  | All  | No  |
SolarWinds TFTP Server  | Windows  | 10+  | Yes  |
SolidNetwork License Manager | Windows  | All  | No  |
Spotify
(Windows UWP app)  | Windows  |  | No  | No network connectivity detected by the app from behind NAT64, requires native IPv4
Steam Client | Windows,
macOS,
Linux  | All  | No  | Cannot log in on IPv6-only network. If logged in on an IPv4 network and moved to an IPv6 network, Steam Client goes offline.[2]
Netflix app  | LG webOS,
Xbox OS | All  | No  | Hardcoded to send DNS requests to 8.8.8.8, or the DHCPv4 designated DNS server as a fallback if 8.8.8.8 is unreachable. Only requests A records, not AAAA, meaning it is completely dependent on IPv4. LG webOS and other LG webOS applications run fine without IPv4 access, so it is not the fault of the operating system.[3]
Thermomix | Thermomix OS  | All  | Yes  | The Thermomix® TM6 supports the current standard Internet protocol IPv6[4]
Microsoft Store | Xbox OS  | All  | Partial  | Xbox Series X - can browse the store using IPv6-only connection with NAT64, but downloads get stuck in the queue until native IPv4 is available
