  This could finally be the tipping point for IPv6, since now all the other major cloud providers will be forced to follow suit or appear hopelessly out of date.

    All the other providers I use already support IPv6 and have for years. Amazon should have supported this years ago, and even now they only have tentative, incomplete support for a few of their services. It's embarrassing, frankly. I'm impressed they didn't try to charge for it, but then again, when you're marking up bandwidth egress 18x over market rate, I guess you have some room to work with.

      Some other providers support it. Scaleway is a fun new thing, yet their initial offering wasn't developed with IPv6 support and cannot be backed in on their old servers. DigitalOcean "supports" IPv6. In some regions. And only gives you 16 addresses per VPS to play with instead of a /64. There are many examples of this, but you see my point. People still don't think IPv6 first, so it's always a separate project to tack it back on. That's a shame because if you support just IPv6, your OS will do IPv4 to IPv6 translation for you, so that you don't have to support two stacks. (I am talking about server-side applications, not places where you need to make connections to IPv4 servers.)

        I've found vultr.com to have solid IPv6. They give you a true /64 that can (with NDP proxying) be fully routed back into your VPS. It just works. Does DO really not give you a /64? I see prefixlen 64 on my eth0 on one of my 'droplets'.

          > I've found vultr.com to have solid IPv6. They give you a true /64 How is that solid IPv6? You can't even trivially subnet it! Sure, it's marginally better than the 16 address madness of other hosters, but it's still terrible. Especially so, given that you need an NDP proxy hack ... WTF?
          • api 10y ago
            Does anyone actually give you a real /64? The NDP proxy hack is easy: https://github.com/DanielAdolfsson/ndppd https://github.com/DanielAdolfsson/ndppd See also: https://www.zerotier.com/community/topic/69/default-route-override-a-k-a-full-tunnel-in-1-1-6 https://www.zerotier.com/community/topic/69/default-route-ov...

              Yes, Linode will route /64 and /48 subnets to you. They'll even give you several of each if you ask, and the subnets can be failed over to other nodes for high availability. Linode are the only ones I have seen do IPv6 correctly. I wish they also knew how to do security correctly; unfortunately I can no longer recommend them in good conscience.

              At vultr you have the option to "bring your own ip", as they call it. This really just allows you to use BGP to announce whatever prefixes you own. You could have a /40 behind each of your servers if you wanted to.

      Also, Linode has supported IPv6 at not additional charge for years.

  Yup, same comment in the YouTube[1] video at :33. 1. https://youtu.be/sMvrx8exfek https://youtu.be/sMvrx8exfek
