@yoursunny explain please
You’re blocked due to the reputation of your IP. You can change your IPv6 again and again but the websites could also just block your whole ASN. That being said, I have been using IPv6 personally on my own devices and it works really well.
In theory, one /64 block of IPv6 is comparable to one IPv4. If a website decides to block your IPv6, it will most likely block the entire /64 block that you are in.
In reality, I'm far more easier to trigger those manual verifications on Google and Reddit and the likes when I'm using IPv6, than when I'm using IPv4. Because of this, I need to even work with my phone carrier (AT&T) to route my phone data through IPv4 only to avoid an hourly Google ReCaptcha...
@davidlozano is right. The core issue is your IP's reputation as a server, not a normal user.
While you can rotate IPv6 addresses, it's not a real fix. Modern security systems (WAFs) are smart and will flag the entire IP block or subnet your provider owns, not just your single IP.
Ultimately, if other "neighbors" on your provider's network also cause trouble, websites might just block the provider's whole network (their ASN). Services like Cloudflare even allow site owners to block or challenge all traffic from an entire country, so just changing your IP is not a foolproof solution.
This is exactly why some people seek out "Residential IP" VPS services. However, even those aren't perfectly safe. A few "noisy neighbors" can still get the entire residential subnet or provider flagged, leading you right back to the same problem.
