The Google IPv6 DNS addresses are 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844.
Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider. It translates human-readable domain names (like www.google.com
) into machine-readable IP addresses.
According to NordVPN, when you type in the Google DNS server addresses, for IPv6 you would use 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844. These addresses correspond to the primary and secondary Google Public DNS servers for the IPv6 protocol.
Using a specific DNS service like Google's can potentially offer benefits such as improved speed, enhanced security, and increased reliability compared to the default DNS servers provided by your internet service provider (ISP).

Google provides both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for their public DNS service. Here are the addresses you can use:

You can configure these addresses on your computer, router, or other network devices to start using Google's Public DNS service for resolving domain names.
