Description
librespeed.org is IPv4-only, and it is where the CLI fetches
backend-servers/servers.php. On an IPv6-only host, or with --ipv6, the run
ends before it starts:
$ librespeed-cli --ipv6 --server 79
Error when fetching server list: Get "https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php":
dial tcp6: lookup librespeed.org: no such host
Most servers in that list are dual-stack, so the list itself is the only thing
blocking an IPv6 test:
librespeed.org A=78.46.162.45 AAAA=—
de1.backend.librespeed.org A=78.46.162.45 AAAA=—
speedtest.cesnet.cz A=78.128.211.42 AAAA=2001:718:1:1f:50:56ff:feee:42
librespeed.turris.cz A=217.31.192.72 AAAA=2001:1488:ac15:ff80::72
