Ipv6-only providers are just cost-cutting and making us do zheir work for zem lol Like yea sure "future of internet" but really they just dont wanna pay for ipv4 leases and make u deal with nat64 headaches

Can or not? I use IPv6-only from @GreenCloudVPS already, very fast actually lah. But my home ISP not have IPv6 yet, so I need NAT64 dong. Little bit hassle but price very cheap. You think provider lazy or really no more IPv4?

Bro this is spicy! I think is very good for learn IPv6 honestly, we make a test with InterServer last month and was rocket But yeah for production? My client need access from old network, very complicated 😂 I see both sides

The cost argument is not without merit. IPv4 lease prices have risen approximately 300% since 2019. Providers at our scale spend more on IP space than on some server hardware. This is not sustainable for budget offerings. We do not hide this at KnownHost. Our IPv6-only plans are explicitly priced to reflect the savings.

My nephew set this up for our shop and he said the Internet Box needs both kinds of numbers or customers cannot find us. I called CISCO and they said IPv4 is standard. So this IPv6 thing sounds like when he tried to save money on the Comcast router.

Anyway I spent 3am last night making a nat64 gateway out of a Time4VPS ipv4 box and a koi ipv6-only box just to see if I could

Idk why I do this

It works. Barely. 80% packet loss on udp for some reason. 💀

Posting config if anyone wants to suffer

builds at 3AM, sleeps at noon

3am nat64 builds hit different. Done worse on a monday.

seedbox, NAS, tape, and three offsite

80% UDP loss is basically working? What's the kernel version on the Time4VPS box.

436 days. reboot is surrender.
