What should people do if they want to connect multiple clients to the Internet and they are only given 1 IPv6 address?
The answer is not, just be given more IPv6 addresses. People who can benefit from ipv6nat probably don't have much of a choice. It's a technical tool.
Imagine getting just one IPv6 address to your LTE phone and wanting to share it with a room full of devices.
- hossbeast 9y agoMaybe your phone can be assigned a block.
- etaioinshrdlu 9y agoJust like I don't get 100 IPv4 addresses on my phone, I don't get a block of IPv6 addresses. There is nothing I can do about it. IPv6 changes nothing in that regard, effectively.
- X-Istence 9y agoExcept that with IPv6, your telco could delegate you an entire /64, or potentially less and turn your phone into just another router in the network. Just asked my friend who is on Verizon, when he is tethered to his phone his laptop/computer gets a full globally unique IPv6 address, every device that is tethered gets one. So it already exists.

Do the thing the people whose ISPs give them zero IPv6 addresses do -- use a tunnel broker. Or a VPN provider that gives you a real IPv6 address block.
