The future is here and its v6 only
Ive been running production on v6-only with NAT64 for 6 months now on RackNerd
Yes theres the occasional breakage but you figure it out
CDN handles v4 edge anyway so who cares
My question: why arent more of you doing this
Costs less (no v4 tax), simpler routing, no CGNAT nonsense
The compat issues are overblown I say
Refuse to edit this post ever so deal with typos
Tomhider: "v6-only"
¡the take hot!
But seriously: the server red with IPv4-only clients is the problem real. I have the clients enterprise, they demand the connectivity dual-stack. The server red, the network slow, the excuses many.
Vos think the CDN covers all? ¡the API direct, the webhook incoming, the monitoring old!
I want the future but the present stubborn is.

Hosting without IPv4, it is elegant in theory.
But clients with legacy systems do not connect. I tried on GreenCloudVPS, beautiful network, pure IPv6, and the payment processor could not reach the callback URL. Embarrassing.
NAT64 is a bridge. Bridges are for crossing, not for living on.
This is my opinion.

Tomhider: "viable now"
- nat64 introduces single point of failure
- dns64 synthesis breaks dnssec validation
- not all applications handle synthesized addresses correctly
- troubleshooting complexity increases by factor of three
- support burden for "it works on my connection" tickets: significant
