But it does not show if you connected to that site via v4 or v6 - it
basically just reports all the addresses the site has in DNS.

Websites using PHP can add the following to show the IP (v4 or v6)
address that the visitor is actually connecting from:

< ?php
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>

A search will likely turn up examples in other languages.
