Do you use IPv6?

Because topics matter? No one likes that guy who talks about shit other than the whole point of discussion.
You quoted my point, they need so many because they are so large. So large that small amounts they use dwarf what your mind thinks is large. And expecting them to use none is pure nonsense.
Wtf? You've lost a marble. Facebook knowing and being right about what? You're having arguments in your head you should seek help for.
But you know Facebook is actually fairly good at what they do, right? Half the motherfucking world is used by them. I heard they do alright, money wise...
You're missing his point. The first movers, the ones who get into new markets often become the top player. They'll have the experience and technology for the new generation while the older ones stagnate and try and catch up. These companies that haven't kept on technology, on equipment will eventually lose their lunch.
I'm not going to feed you anymore.
Used to just leave it disabled as I had no idea what kind of wizardry was at work there and I only knew how to secure IPv4 connections.
Then came a time where I used 4G LTE as home internet for a while in an unconventional way and was assigned IPv6 only by default yet connectivity was almost completely normal, a few services didn't like the tunneling, ended up having to learn it just enough to use it.
Now I enable it, and will go so far as to troubleshoot if whichever router I'm using that week doesn't just auto config it as my current ISP provides it and I like that I don't have do near as much port forwarding in the IPv4 range for things like Xbox Live and probably other things I have forgotten because they just work.
Its still some magical wizardry to me and something I'm not super well versed in, but thats due to lack of practice, I would probably use it more internally if I could type out an address before lunch, let alone remember the freakin' things. Yeah, I suppose I could just use DNS, but 10.x.x.x addresses are just plain old fun to organize with.
Until I get more practice, I'm actually fine with it being disabled by default when it comes to external services, like with RackNerd. One of these days I'll learn it more than 'just enough to get by'. lol
There is nothing wrong with using IPv4 to connect to internal devices. I still do it even if all my servers have v6 connectivity.
It's mostly let the service bind to an IPv6 address (or just to anything) and add a AAAA record. You won't get practice by not using it.
to be IPv6 would deployed mainstream duel stack should be cheaper then just using IPv4, and only way that can happen is traffic cost is charged differently. not sure that's possible though
Good point.
Also a good point.
I guess its just not on my mind ever, I didn't even realize my VPS with RN didn't have IPv6 until just recently.
It seems to just work as needed, where as I'm seemingly always messing with v4 routing, which I assume is the argument for it, as I only notice it when its not there and something needs it.
Do you folks offer any IPv6 only boxes?
For a lot of my personal hosting needs, I don't need IPv4 at all really. Everything I have offers IPv6.
I would even love to cut out IPv4 totally out of my life if I could. And with cheap/easy and lots of places free DNS management, no one has to really remember remember long IPv6 anyway. Cheap and plenty.
Gullo does only ipv6 iirc
No, my ISP doesn’t support IPv6, even if some situations such as DNS hijacking.
My internet service provider offers both IPv4 and IPv6. I can enable either one or both of them independently.
The problem I have is that my firewall license is limited to 50 active IP addresses. The type (IPv4 or IPv6) does not matter, only the total. Enabling both IPv4 and IPv6 more than doubles the number of active IP addresses. Combined, they come close to or exceed the license limit.
If I turn off IPv6, nothing breaks. I am not aware of any IPv6 only servers or websites on the internet that I needed but could not reach. At least not yet.
Maybe someday I might choose another firewall, but the one I have now works very well for me, so I am not likely to change.
no.
Y.. nope
I have a feeling that @yoursunny is lurking on this thread hard and waiting to spank those of us who disable IPv6.
My using VPSes supports IPv6.
My home line is not supported, but ...
True
Same here, I won't consider any provider that does not offer IPv6 and anything less than /112.
*Grabs popcorn. Please continue
IPv6? Bitch please, I already switched to v9 and using yoursunny's IPv9 Antarctica VPS. The best service ever for Linux ISOs. Orderid #911420 Hope I'll get a discount for next renewal.
Because in some places it only supports ipv4
Push-up porn is near the top of worst porn.
I use it when it's possible. My home internet providers also has native ipv6 and customers get a /56 prefix. Sadly, there are still providers that don't support ipv6 at all. v4 addresses are becoming expensive for everyone else except organizations that hoarded a lot of them back in the day.
I don't disable it but don't configure it either. My home line, work line and mobile don't have v6 support at all, I have no issues.
There really is no benefit in enabling it for me either. I just want to support it's adoption.
I could care less about legacy IP. I'm using legacy because I'm forced to use legacy. I'm 100% on board with IPv6 and require it for most of my functionality.
Yes I use and it´s a must, provider that doesn´t offer proper and working ipv6 is a joke.
