Someone here (or maybe it was on Reddit) set up his internal network to be pure IPv6, he used DNS64 which translated all DNS websites that had only IPv4 addresses to IPv6 and NAT64 which translated IPv6 address to IPv4. The thing is that there are still many websites that are only accessible from IPv4, and in order to access it either you or your ISP would have to translate IPv6 address to IPv4 (NAT64) and make connection to it. If you will be the one doing the NAT then you will need to have at least a single IPv4 address.

It just occurred to me that perhaps a socks5 proxy could bridge from ipv6 to ipv4? Sadly, even if I set up "automatic" proxy configuration, I pretty sure there'd be enough edge cases and things breaking that "forcing" local users on ipv6 wouldn't be feasible. Many thanks to all the "nay sayers" in this sub-thread. Helps me manage my expectations, if nothing else :-)

  I personally would like to make my home network IPv6. Just for learning purposes, but my issue is that my ISP doesn't even provide IPv6. And there isn't any official private address range.

    That's a problem that I struggled with for four years (multiple IPS, one DSLAM for ADSL, that ran some ancient crap that they refused to upgrade to support ipv6...). But now, this new network is my home network. So if I want ipv6, I have to maintain it myself :-) (This is, assuming that the upstream ISP here that provides the fiber line will be able to provide ipv6, but I'm fairly certain that shouldn't be a problem)

    You can get free IPv6 tunnels, e.g. from he.net: https://tunnelbroker.net/ https://tunnelbroker.net/ Private addresses are discouraged, please use public addresses (you will have plenty) and filter them correctly. If you must, you can use link local (fe80::) or unique local (fdXX:XXXX:XXXX::/48) addresses.
