You can manually check your DNS operation.  Try this command (works on Windows and Linux):

 

nslookup google.com

 

If your DNS works for IPv6, you should get both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the reply.  This is what I get using Ubuntu on my DNS server PC:

 

Server:        127.0.0.53
Address:    127.0.0.53#53

 

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    google.com
Address: 142.251.222.238
Name:    google.com
Address: 2404:6800:4006:806::200e

 

And from Windows:

 

Server:  lith.6.jsw.gen.nz
Address:  2406:e001:1:2802::12

 

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    google.com
Addresses:  2404:6800:4006:810::200e
          142.251.222.238

 

If you do not get IPv6 addresses in the reply, then there is a problem with your DNS.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

things look OK and I have not doubted I have IPv6 (Geekzone continues to show the badge)

 

nslookup google.com 
Server:         192.168.1.1
Address:        192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   google.com
Address: 142.250.195.238
Name:   google.com
Address: 2404:6800:4006:803::200e

 


 
The query was more around - "is there anything wrong with the what https://test-ipv6.com/  is reporting? Is it normal?"

Had to reboot my router to restore IPv6.
