Too bad AWS, Azure and Google Cloud have patchy to zero IPv6 support.

I have a ipv6 only vlan/SSID at home, pretty much nothing works outside of ipv6.google.com without nat64/dns64. It actually seems like its getting worse since world ipv6 day. www.bing.com literally turned it on for one day, then turned it off. Smaller sites seem to have left it on, but then forgotten that fact and over time more and more of them seem to have fallen offline/etc. Then there are all the 1/2 ass implementations. My router is ipv6 enabled (edgeOS), but that means you get a GUI for configuring/viewing ipv4, and a command line for ipv6. My ISP has a 1 IP rule, even though they claim dual stack support, I can get either IPV6 or IPV4, not both simultaneously (even though the ipv6 is a block of IPs). Ugh...

  > I have a ipv6 only vlan/SSID at home, pretty much nothing works outside of ipv6.google.com without nat64/dns64. Facebook, Youtube and Netflix should work via IPv6 without NAT64/DNS64. One major source of problems with IPv6 is Path MTU Discovery, which is mandatory but can easily be sabotaged by filtering ICMPv6 packets. So if you use something advanced like an Edgerouter, make sure that you do not shoot yourself in the foot with it, it is very easy (I know from experience). Consumer routers like AirPort Express from Apple or similar do the right thing by default. They should also have (the AP Express has) options to filter inbound connection attempts, to get the good old 'protected by NAT' feeling back.

  That's a bit hard to believe - the "1 IP rule" applied that way is absurd ... I feel for you

  It's definitely getting worse. Internode are one of the only residential ISPs in Australia offering IPv6. They got bought by iiNet who still haven't deployed IPv6, who then got bought by TPG who are far more likely to put their entire customer base behind a single IP/CGNAT.

  I follow the EdgeMAX product line beta forums and IPv6 support in the GUI is something that is highly requested and is currently being worked on (unfortunately fairly slowly though).

This is a real issue, it may work if you buy an extra of their load balancer and enable v6 on them. Otherwise it's really moving slow on that front. I don't want to say that you should go to other providers either with niche features (e.g. Rackspace or whatever) the big three really outmatches all others in stability.
