I don't think that anything is wrong here. You (your DNS server) either connect via IPv4 or IPv6 but not both. You could try to disable IPv6 support in your router and then you should see IPv4 ECS information on dnscheck.tools.

You can also try using the Akamai Whoami Tool (whoami.ipv4.akahelp.net and whoami.ipv6.akahelp.net) (more details on issue #792) which both work fine for me. Right now I'm using T-Online as my ISP. Akamai returns an IPv4 address as ECS info and test.nextdns.io returns an IPv6 address as ECS info in my case. So I would say everything works as expected unless you mean something else.

Already tried (I created #792 and know about it) it. Even when trying whoami.ipv4.akahelp.net it only brings the IPv6 ECS address. No IPv4 address showing up over there.

When using other DNS providers everything is fine - it's only AdGuard-DNS with issues here.
