In my home, Comcast business uses IPv6. So far, no VPN supports this, and I haven't found proper answers on how to handle this?
I've heard I can just "disable IPv6" on my Mac, but I don't know the full implications of this. If anyone has any input I'd appreciate this, because then I would use a VPN all the time.
EDIT Sorry I meant to type VPN not VPS, stupid typo.
- jstanley 10y agoI'll provide you with a VPN that supports IPv6. Email address in my profile. EDIT: And the full implications of disabling IPv6 are approximately nothing.
- newsat13 10y agoWhy the secrecy? Many of us would like to know. It's fine if it's pitching a product that you are making. We would like to sign up.
- jstanley 10y agoThere's no secrecy, there's no product yet. I just already operate a VPN for my own use, and could easily do so for others. Maybe a product would come out of it, maybe not.
- geofft 10y agoWho are you? How do I know you're not logging my traffic and selling it? It sounds like you're in the UK - I'm a US person, if I give you my traffic, what will courts say about my expectation of privacy?
- jstanley 10y agoI'm James Stanley. I blog at http://incoherency.co.uk/ http://incoherency.co.uk/ I already operate https://smsprivacy.org/ https://smsprivacy.org/ which is essentially a VPN for SMS. I don't have any way to prove I'm not logging your traffic, but I am a big believer in privacy and promise not to. If you don't trust me, you don't have to use it.
- ryanswapp 10y agoAccording to the Supreme Court you don't have any expectation of privacy in information given to a third party so whether the VPN is in the US or not does not matter.
- tptacek 10y agoThat's an oversimplification of the Third-Party Doctrine, particularly as applied today.
- RKearney 10y ago> How do I know you're not logging my traffic and selling it? The same way you know any VPN company isn't. You just have to take their word for it. Why is the word of a fly-by-night VPN provider any better than a HN poster?
- davb 10y agoDiitalOcean supports IPv6.
- dijit 10y agoNo VPS supports IPv6? I can think of a few off the top of my head that do: * Linode * Vultr * Tilaa * DigitalOcean.

- aidenn0 10y agoGoogle found this company offering ipv6 support. https://www.perfect-privacy.com/vpn-with-ipv6-support/ https://www.perfect-privacy.com/vpn-with-ipv6-support/ What I'd really like is a vpn that gives me an ipv4 address and an ipv6/64 so I can have my router do the vpn and route my whole network through a vpn by only configuring one computer.
- fragmede 10y agoIf you're on Comcast business, there's no real implication on turning off IPv6. Any sites you use that are exclusively available only via IPv6 will stop working, but due to slow adoption of IPv6, that list of exceptions is quite small. IPv6 adoption is big in China, but even then the major services themselves are available over IPv4. (Weibo.com doesn't even advertise an IPv6 AAAA DNS record, so the things I read about IPv6 adoption in China may be overstated.) There are, of course, exceptions. There are a number of intentionally ipv6-only test sites like https://ipv6.google.com https://ipv6.google.com that won't work. Things like Google.com which are available over both IPv4 and IPv6 will degrade gracefully if you turn off IPv6 on your mac, and just connect over IPv4.
