IPv4 friends... not like this...

Verizon basically broke their residential IPv6 hardware for their new fiber network upgrade (NGPON2).
So verizon at least will keep IPv4 for awhile longer, though they own millions of IPv4 addressess, so it's not a HUGE deal for them (yet).

I had ipv6 for more than a decade if I recall correctly, still paying peanuts.

>>what's the advantage of using ipv4 in 2026?
99.9% of the internet still uses IPv4, and not all of them use IPv6.
So if you had to pick one over the other, IPv4 is the only sane option.
If you just need to access major web services it shouldnt be a problem if you're on IPv6 only, but much of the wider internet is still IPv4.
It's fairly easy to get by without IPv6 in 2026, it would be a pain in the ass to deal without IPv4.

It's just a toggle in my router.

I think Windows might be the only OS that even lets you do that.
Linux is working towards that but they're not there yet. Too much code assumes "Inet == IPv4" and they have to untangle that to get it to the point that you can build a kernel with no IPv4 at all.
I have Jool doing NAT64 on my OpenWRT router though and send DHCP option 108 to indicate devices should work in an IPv6-mostly fashion if they support it.
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-link-v6ops-6mops-01.html
The next release of NetworkManager will support bringing up CLAT if configured to do so (Fedora is testing this) but for now it's just Android and iOS devices that work without IPv4 on my network.
I think Windows 11 is getting a CLAT too but I haven't tested that yet.

US is 54.61% respectively.

Your router might not be sending router advertisements quickly enough for it to enable it.
On my OpenWRT router I ended up needing to configure Uradvd (I'm not using Odhcpd or Dnsmasq because I wanted a simpler config) like this:option max_router_adv_interval '10'
option min_router_adv_interval '3'
option default_lifetime '1800'
Without that Android devices wouldn't connect to the IPv6 mostly network quickly enough and would display connection error messages. Maybe Windows is similarly picky? Linux on the other hand it doesn't care, it see's IPv6 10 minutes later than it should be (maybe that's how long your shit system took to boot anyway) and then configures it.

Of course it's Realtek, it's always Realtek. *facepalm*. Their drivers are garbage even on Linux too. How they manage to fuck up an entire Internet protocol with their shitty hardware offloads I'll never know.
This is probably some checksum issue, etc. I remember a lot of NICs having issues calculating that properly, etc, in the past and it would break stuff with the offloading.

(Me again):
If you can't wait for NetworkManager I just noticed clatd-git is in the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clatd-git
I built a Podman container for it and it works. The NetworkManager version will probably more performant though because it uses BPF.

>anyone notice that IP blocks are becoming less common?
goood
fuck spur.us and I worship CGNAT
I use resi proxies everywhere I go and I noticed a lot less blocks as well. It seems social media websites are too scared to fight against resi proxies now

If someone finds your IP they could still feasibly scan your entire /56 range. It's just tedious and time consuming.
>>108620324
Privacy addressing is literally built into the protocol and if that's not enough then you can NAT6 to a ULA so all devices on your network appear to be behind the one same address that's on the router like what you got with NAT on IPv4 (but this breaks the end-to-end principle of IPv6 and will make purists cry)

I have the option to leave my CGNAT with a toggle to get a random public ipb4 adress and I always take it because it's better for gaming ping and overall jitter, can't trust no chink shit router that's overworked on their end.

>you cant even disable ipv6 on phones
It's not about what you can disable or enable on your device. It's about what your network provider is willing to give you. If you disable IPv6 on an Android phone (which should be possible with enough privileges), it doesn't always mean that your provider will simply fall back to v4 - you might just have no connectivity at all.

This. When I had ipv6 turned on, my address would get banned half the time on some websites for blocking all their trackers and cookies, one which was notorious was the old rarbg before it went down. On ipv4 they didn't bother.

Must be nice, all the mobile carriers here settled on CG-NAT and there are no plans to move to IPv6.

>>108620627
The full IPv6 is just the subnet, see >>108621688
They just do CGNAT, if you don't have iPv6 they will just put you on what is the equivalent of the prefix as iPv4
They are not breaking this anytime soon because there are still ancient devices which need support and don't have iPv6

IPv6 is the most borked tech upgrade in history. The last os without ipv6 by default has EOL'd over a decade ago yet we barley reached 50%. We need to seriously start boycotting ISPs that don't support IPv6, basically shaming them as "not real internet" like we do for ISPs that still use copper lines.
