    I think the fundamental problem with ipv6 is that it’s a bit more complex to learn than ipv4 and not universally deployed at the remote host/server level.

    New cloud companies who want to be competitive have to purchase ipv4 blocks at significant cost reducing their ability to compete with the incumbent players.

    So if you go 100% ipv6 at home, some percentage of the internet will be inaccessible to you unless you employ some workarounds.

    We’ll drop ipv4 quite fast once everything is up on ipv6 because nearly every modern network enabled device supports it.

    The only reason I think we’ve not gotten over the hump is because our alternatives are still easy enough to work with and nobody requires it.

    I blocked all my IPv6 because android/Google would always force it’s own DNS on me. And I couldn’t find a reliable method without rooting the phone to turn this off.
    Well i did find one, to disable IPv6 on the router. Is this a thing anyone else had or did i remember it wrong or not dig deep enough?
