I wonder if we'll see a rise in people using a gateway server for ipv4, but use ipv6 directly. Would be nice to see ipv6 users having some benefit latency wise.
The linked article shows how flexible they are: both IPv4 and IPv6, or even a server with no public interface, only accessible from your other servers in order to enhance security.
This title suggests that Hetzner's new policy is EITHER you take an IPv6 address OR none at all, and that IPv4 is completely off the table. This is incorrect; everything remains the same but you now have the option to get a cheaper instance by not getting an IPv4 address: > "The total price for cloud servers with public IP addresses is the same as before. The only change that comes with the new network options is the…
These are the three options you have:
- Two public IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) – The server has a public network and supports public IPv4 / IPv6 connections.
- One public IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) - The server has a public network, but only supports either public IPv4 or IPv6 connections.
- No public IP addresses – The server does not have a public network. Instead, it only is accessible within a private network and with a private IP address.
Having an IPv4 is like having a 212 prefix.
What is a 212 prefix? I don't understand the reference.
Removing public IPv4 gets you a discount of €0.50 / month on the server.
