Technically the goal of enabling IPv6 can be done through Cloudflare as well, which they enabled a few days ago. I wonder why they turned it off and are back to directly serving traffic.

Can you explain this more? Why are you so tied to ipv4? I recently enabled IPv6 on my home network, and roughly 30-40% of all internet traffic goes through IPv6. Things are noticeably faster, especially connection times to online games on Xbox Live. My only complaint is that my ISP keeps changing the prefix every quarter or so, so my static addresses need to be updated in the firewall and other places. I am looking i…
You want a ULA (unique local address) instead of link-local. Link-local can sometimes mean needing to append the interface name to your address and a bunch of other weirdness. If you pick a ULA prefix and announce it (or assign some statically) everything pretty much just works. I’ve been using them internally for over a year and it’s been great, they basically feel like RFC 1918 addresses.

The next few months may be hard for you. AWS will start charging for ipv4 on February 1st, so it’s likely that either a mass migration is coming or prices for many services will increase accordingly to pass that cost along to customers.
2024 is shaping up as the year people drop AWS
Next is TLS 1.3 support, hopefully :) # openssl s_client -connect news.ycombinator .com:443 -tls1_3 CONNECTED(00000003) 4160736388:error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version:ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1562:SSL alert number 70 --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 7 bytes and written 244 bytes Verification: OK --- New, (NONE),…

Why would things be faster over v6?

If you don't mind me asking, how did you notice that?

For me, IPv4 doesn't break the privacy barrier, IPv6 blasts a huge hole straight into each and every household, office and IoT device on the planet. No, privacy fixes put into IPv6 do not work.
