Verizon basically broke their residential IPv6 hardware for their new fiber network upgrade (NGPON2).

So verizon at least will keep IPv4 for awhile longer, though they own millions of IPv4 addressess, so it's not a HUGE deal for them (yet).

>>what's the advantage of using ipv4 in 2026?
99.9% of the internet still uses IPv4, and not all of them use IPv6.

So if you had to pick one over the other, IPv4 is the only sane option.


If you just need to access major web services it shouldnt be a problem if you're on IPv6 only, but much of the wider internet is still IPv4.

It's fairly easy to get by without IPv6 in 2026, it would be a pain in the ass to deal without IPv4.

I think Windows might be the only OS that even lets you do that.

Linux is working towards that but they're not there yet. Too much code assumes "Inet == IPv4" and they have to untangle that to get it to the point that you can build a kernel with no IPv4 at all.

I have Jool doing NAT64 on my OpenWRT router though and send DHCP option 108 to indicate devices should work in an IPv6-mostly fashion if they support it.
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-link-v6ops-6mops-01.html

The next release of NetworkManager will support bringing up CLAT if configured to do so (Fedora is testing this) but for now it's just Android and iOS devices that work without IPv4 on my network.

I think Windows 11 is getting a CLAT too but I haven't tested that yet.

Your router might not be sending router advertisements quickly enough for it to enable it.

On my OpenWRT router I ended up needing to configure Uradvd (I'm not using Odhcpd or Dnsmasq because I wanted a simpler config) like this:

        option max_router_adv_interval '10'
        option min_router_adv_interval '3'
        option default_lifetime '1800'

Without that Android devices wouldn't connect to the IPv6 mostly network quickly enough and would display connection error messages. Maybe Windows is similarly picky? Linux on the other hand it doesn't care, it see's IPv6 10 minutes later than it should be (maybe that's how long your shit system took to boot anyway) and then configures it.

That's CGNAT in action. If websites supported IPv6 properly then they'd be able to identify your IPv6 address and block you properly.

>>108620239
Of course it's Realtek, it's always Realtek. *facepalm*. Their drivers are garbage even on Linux too. How they manage to fuck up an entire Internet protocol with their shitty hardware offloads I'll never know.

This is probably some checksum issue, etc. I remember a lot of NICs having issues calculating that properly, etc, in the past and it would break stuff with the offloading.

If someone finds your IP they could still feasibly scan your entire /56 range. It's just tedious and time consuming.
>>108620324
Privacy addressing is literally built into the protocol and if that's not enough then you can NAT6 to a ULA so all devices on your network appear to be behind the one same address that's on the router like what you got with NAT on IPv4 (but this breaks the end-to-end principle of IPv6 and will make purists cry)

>>108619156
>you cant even disable ipv6 on phones
It's not about what you can disable or enable on your device. It's about what your network provider is willing to give you. If you disable IPv6 on an Android phone (which should be possible with enough privileges), it doesn't always mean that your provider will simply fall back to v4 - you might just have no connectivity at all.

You're already using DNS right now in your browser. Nobody except retarded gamers is manually dialling in IP addresses.

Using DNS also has the added advantage that you can move the server and people will still be able to find it at its canonical location. This is true whether IPv4 or IPv6 by the way.

Then eventually you might actually find some IPv6 peers over time even if the shitty torrent websites tracker doesn't support it.

It's a simple low-effort thing you can do. QBittorrent has a setting to automatically add a list of additional trackers to torrents you download.

"IPv6 spyware refers to malicious software that exploits the unique characteristics of the IPv6 protocol, such as direct device addressability, to bypass traditional NAT firewalls, perform stealthy scanning, and enable remote code execution. Attackers can use IPv6 to directly reach and control vulnerable, exposed devices.
Key IPv6 Security Risks and Spyware Vectors
Direct Exposure (No NAT): Unlike IPv4, which often uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to hide devices, IPv6 often assigns unique, routable addresses to every device, exposing them directly to the internet.
Stealthier Reconnaissance: Attackers can utilize IPv6 address aliasing—assigning multiple addresses to one host—to evade detection and mask malicious activity.
Remote Exploitation: Attackers can craft malicious IPv6 packets that exploit vulnerabilities in a system's TCP/IP stack to gain control without user interaction.
Metadata Leaks: IPv6 addresses can be derived from a device's MAC address, making it easier for spyware to track activity across different networks. "

So not always then.

Nothing stops you from using NAT6 and distributing a ULA to your LAN that's not globally addressable and then foregoing a GUA altogether.

OpenWRT even has full support for doing just this:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6/ipv6.nat6

You're fucking retard for wanting this but it's there. Just because something is often done a particular way doesn't mean you have to follow them. If you want your NAT you can have it.

Yes that's nice dear. Don't need your slop. Bye now.

>>108627511

just unplug the wan port

>NAT in IPv4 :)
>NAT in IPv6 :(
Make your mind up. Do you want the slop or not. If NAT in IPv6 is slop then it must also be slop in IPv4. Might as well throw your router in the trash.

>>108627508
beautiful normie trap though doncha think? You going to sell me cloud connected tpm 2 next?

>>108627528
That's right your getting there. So You have your LAN with all your wonderful operating systems and their software libraries and some of them don't support it so why the fuck would you use it?

>>108627469
We could have just have IPv5, that was merely a 64 bit address instead of 128.

Could have been a simple in-place extension of existing IPv4 addresses.


1.2.3.4 would be implicitly 0.0.0.0.1.2.3.4

If you needed an address higher than 2^32 you would just add a fifth digit like 1.1.2.3.4
But instead of doing the rational and logicial thing and going to 64 bits, they instead jumped all the way to a retardedly large bit range that is far larger than anyone ever wants to use.

>>108627588
>just add a prefix to existing addresses
They tried that multiple times. You still need a dual stack system or a translator.

I love comcast
i mean it is a shit service in many ways but they have a metric ton of ipv4 and i doubt I will have to use anything else for the foreseeable future.

>>108627639
They should've gone with 256bit addresses.
128bit isn't nearly enough

You have to kill yourself. You actually thought all ipv6 is publicly routed? You actually thought that don't lie.
Kill yourself.

>bro just join my server is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Use DNS FAGGOT.

>>108627502
>no firewall
It does not mean that you colossal faggot. If I know your public ipv4 address does that mean you have no firewall?
Dumb cunt.

>>108627469
>What should they have used instead?
anything except @ and other already-used things like : or /.
semi-colons, commas, exclamation marks etc.

>>108627742
So that leaves some random unicode character then. Probably more annoying than just re-using the colon with square brackets to delaminate them.

>>108625141
The choice to use colon, something that requires a shift to hit instead of just a dot was a very retarded choice.

>>108627953
Do you often find yourself inputting a lot of IPv6 addresses like some sort of mechanical turk?
Maybe invest in some sort of custom keyboard with a nice big colon key that doesn't require a shift. Maybe even some sort of custom numpad design.

>>108627963
It's a convenience thing. I can enter ipv4 addresses into my local DNS server on a numpad and nothing more. For ipv6 it takes quite a bit more time unless I use addresses with lots of 0s so I can just skip most of the address length.

>>108627975
Why are you inputting DNS manually instead of using DHCP and RDNSS?

>>108627988
Servers are configured with a static IP and a manual DNS entry. Anything else is retarded. Clients who gives a fuck, they get DHCP and have their hostnames registered upon lease acceptance.

>>108627998
Why not just setup static DHCP lease and have the DHCP server push to the DNS server?

>>108627747
why are you like this? were you on the team that created IPv6?

>>108628017
Colons are not evil, okay.

>>108628014
Lol no. There is no reason to hope the DHCP server will always without fail fulfill the lease. One thing fucks up and oops, shits down. My DHCP server and DNS server are on the same box. It updates DNS when a lease is handed out. However if I'm going through the effort of making a static lease, it doesn't take much just to enter a DNS entry. Most sever oriented OSes make it piss easy to set a static IP during the OS installation and setup.

>>108628034
I should further add I know the IP address of my server so lets say DNS does go down for some reason, I can still get to my server. If it was on DHCP and who knows if that worked I'm walking over to the machine and logging in locally just to figure out what fucked up instead of just doing so from the comfort of my desk.

>>108628023
i just said i disliked IPv6 because it forces you to add an extra [] when using ports, i didn't even say i hated it... i don't think it warranted ridiculous comments like >>108627747 as if there was really no other option than to use : outside of some "unicode character"

>>108628043
Doing it through DHCP is nice because it lets you make DNS records entirely through CNAMEs and the underlying CNAME is the record from the DHCP server so you never have to manually encode IP addresses anywhere except the static lease but I do get the comment about wanting it to come up with networking even if the DHCP server is down, that is fair.

>The presence of at least one colon in the text representation allows SIP addresses to be easily distinguished from both domain names and the text representation of IPv4 addresses.

>>108628336
finally, someone who actually read the RFC in this thread...

>every device in my network has a public IPv6 address
how the fuck do I opt out of this data mining surveillance bullshit

>>108629666
Use NAT6 with a ULA like:
>>108627508

Then it's just like IPv4, every device on your network sits behind the routers address and the router does connection / state tracking to NAT to the source device with the ULA on the other end.

Or if you're not a fucking retard and understand how fucking stupid that is then you use the rotating privacy addresses instead. That way you get to keep end-to-end connectivity but your OS will rotate the address regularly.

>>108618674 (OP)
Please god can we have zone ID support in browsers again?
I want be able to do ping ff02::1%eth0, find the link local address of the device (like a router when I fuck up network addresses), and access the web interface using https://[fe80::8ac3:97ff:feba:efc8%eth0]

>>108629954
i don't know why but the format of that url just pisses me off for some reason

>>108618674 (OP)
i was one of the persons responsible for rolling out almost over 2000 machines recently, i disabled ipv6 on all of them

old = good
new = bad
simple as

>static address
yeah you can keep it

>>108629954
Once again, use DNS.

It's valid to add an entry to /etc/hosts like:

fe80::XXXXX%eth0 my-host

Then you can go to http://myhost in your browser and that just works since it knows what a zone identifier is and can resolve it properly, it's just extremely fucking retarded about it.

IPv6 + mDNS is the best

>>108630524
If you don't mind spamming your network with multicast crap, yeah. If you own any Apple device or smart shit it's going to happen regardless though.

On my network I just setup proper DNS with ISC Kea and Bind9 so I can always go to <hostname>.home.arpa.

>>108630553
why are you network engineering spergs so obsessed with minimizing traffic as much as possible

>>108618674 (OP)
Its ipv6 support

Redpill me on IPv6 without the irrelevant stuff like it being harder to read or lack of technical support in legacy systems? How does it differ from IPv4 other than having more available addresses? What are the advantages and disadvantages for the user and the internet as a whole?

give me a blowjob

>>108619886
habibi

>>108630323
I'm sure that works since I swear I've seen mDNS use them, but at least on my machine nothing can resolve it.
All I can find is a stackexchange thread and 14 year glibc bug report saying that nsswitch doesn't support it, no idea if that applies here.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14413

I've got a script that uses socat to forward them localhost:8080, it's just that it would be nice if firefox supported them again, but of course mozilla won't implement anything now if google doesn't, and google isn't gonna implement it because
>we're especially not keen to support these in Chrome
