Still no proper IPv6 support. I use v6 almost exclusively to get to all my servers.

  I'll chime in and say: Support for IPv6. It's ... self evident? I think we've reached a point that it's okay to call out a network client that doesn't support it.

    I am not sure I understand. How is it self-evident? Is there a benefit over using mosh over IPv4? Performance, stability,anything else? Does it add anything to what mosh can do over IPv4. Is the benefit from the client end or the server end or in-between.
    - DanielDent 10y ago
      Well one benefit is that it works. Servers which don't have a v4 address are a thing.

      Connecting to servers that aren't given an IPv4 address (because NAT sucks)?
- feld 10y ago
  NAT sucks, that's why.

  I use mosh to connect to my workstation, which only has an IPv6 address as far as public connectivity goes. Several friends of mine are in a similar situation, so at least in my bubble, getting easy access to computers running at home is a major use-case for IPv6 :).

  Some containers/jails do, but not the entire server.

To be fair, mosh -6 does work. I believe it’s only roaming that doesn’t work yet?
- feld 10y ago
  Right, and without roaming it's kind of pointless.

  Specifically, it is roaming between IPv6 and IPv4 that is problematic. According to Anders Kaseorg, roaming amongst IPv6 nodes works fine. * https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/453 https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/453 * https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/81 https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/81

I wish I had your problems, I've been waiting more than 5 years since my ISP first promised they are working on implementing IPv6 and so far I am still stuck with ~10mbit/s ADSL using IPv4 only.
