This is a non-starter without IPv6. I know some of you will be tempted to jump ship from DO and Vultr, but please remember that by doing so you will continue enabling Amazon to hold back progress. While ignoring AWS is not really an option, as it offers some very unique features that are quite useful, this thing does not.
DO is not great in this regard as their butcher their allocations, but Vultr gives each VPS a proper /64. Scaleway has partial IPv6 support (not for their bare metal could, but their VPS's do support it).
I urge you to vote with your wallets, unless you really like paying $1/month or more per IP for the foreseeable future.
- abiox 10y ago> enabling Amazon to hold back progress what do you mean?
- darkstar999 10y agoIP V6 is progress over 4.
- TheSmiddy 10y agoWe're running out of IPv4 addresses and need to move to 100% IPv6 ASAP or else we're going to end up with a system where it's NAT all the way down.
- floatboth 10y agoYeah, Scaleway has IPv6 on the VPSes and the AMD64 dedicated servers, but not on ARM servers. 2core/2GB/50GB is a better offering than DigitalOcean's. Sadly, it seems like they still don't have FreeBSD.
- arcdigital 10y agoIt's coming (one region now, more to come soon), not sure about Lightsail though. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ipv6-support-for-ec2-instances-in-virtual-private-clouds https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ipv6-support-for-ec2-in...
