I pay yearly more for IPv4 address space for virtual machines on my dedicated server than for that dedicated server itself _(ツ)_/.

Let that thing die.

Monthly summary:

54.40€ - 30 IPv4 addresses
0.00€ - 18 quintillion IPv6 addresses
38.39€ - whole server for dozens of services

Someone is using Hetzner. :) Yes let IPv4 fade away. Still what services are you running that require so many unique IPs?

maybe start with an adjustable setup:

  • rent a cheap vm, i got one for 1€/month (for the first year,cancel monthly) from ovh currently
  • setup 3 openvpn instances to redirect all routes through the tunnel, one with ipv4 only, one with ipv6 only and one with both
  • setup the client on your mobile phone and your laptop both with all three vpns to choose from
  • have the option to choose now and try out ipv6, standalone or dualstack depending on what vpn you switch on
  • use this setup to blame services that don't support ipv6 yet or maybe are broken with dualstack 🤣
  • rise from under-the-stone (disabling ipv6 only) to in-sunlight (to a well-above-industry-standart-level !!! "quick" new network technologies adopting "genious") 🤣
  • improve your openvpn setup from above to be reachable "by" ipv6 too if you haven't done it from the beginning, done: reach the pro-level of the-late-adopter-noob-group

(if you want, ask for config snippets)

btw i prefer to wait for ipv8😁 before "demanding" ipv6 from services i use 🤣

I keep hearing this, and I KNOW it's true at the enterprise level, but I've been running my home LAN IPv6 native for the last - 6+ years? Ever since I learned Comcat would vend it to you from their stock router.

Works great. No problems. Didn't used to be that way, but these days most (more?) of the stack bugs have been shaken out.

I'm a network engineer and I run ipv6 natively in all of our datacenters. There are even a handful of end systems that have ipv6 native networking stacks with ipv4 sockets for our non-ipv6 compatible applications. IPv6 issues are basically self-inflicted at this point by companies that see their IT systems as cost centers, or by basilisk directors who's knowledge stopped in the 90's.

Yeah, I feel like this is one of those memes that just travevls like lightning because it's attractive to people.

IPv6 WAS crazy bad for a very long time, so I can kind of understand it at least, but wake up and smell the 128 bit addressing people, ipv6 is a SUPER useful tool when you need it :)
