Description

@jpatw

The options to test a proxy provide a number of external servers...

Some of these support IPv6 and will report the IPv6 address of your direct connection or proxy, while others do not and will downgrade to legacy IP. This is misleading to users as the address reported will differ depending on which server they use for testing.

I'd propose only offering the modern dual stack capable testing servers, and deprecating the legacy ones. It would also be better to check v6 and legacy connectivity separately (eg like ip6.biz does) and report to the user accordingly.
