I think eventually the only thing that will have any hope of forcing proper IPv6 adoption is some popular service being made available only over IPv6. We can call it "IPv6walling."

There's 3 websites, to my knowledge, that are IPv6 only: * https://loopsofzen.uk/ https://loopsofzen.uk/ * https://42.be/ https://42.be/ * https://ct.filippo.io/ https://ct.filippo.io/ They aren't quite killer applications though, so it won't push many to IPv6. Possibly as the internet gets larger, some hosting providers simply won't have any free IPv4 addresses left? I guess that could be solved by putting CloudFlare in front of the server to provide an IPv4 address. It's strange, I used to do that to provide IPv6 years ago.

  Also customers would just think the website is offline, because browser's error page doesn't say: "You have IPv4, but you need IPv6. Call your ISP." So there'd be no: "I want this IPv6" calls to the ISP.

    Just redirect your A record to youdonthaveipv6.com

      If you have dual stack, any A record will get used some of the time. It's part of Happy Eyeballs. I suppose that you could add a long artificial delay to the IPv4 service.

        Depends on your browser. For example, Safari will always prefer AAAA over A.
