I don't think your cellular provider would stop you from accessing ipv4 addresses, it just starts the first hop on ipv6, then tunnels it for you to wherever you

I don't think your cellular provider would stop you from accessing ipv4 addresses, it just starts the first hop on ipv6, then tunnels it for you to wherever you're trying to reach.
The ultimate goal being decommissioning the tunnel once the rest of the world is ready (few decades obviously)
- kazen44 8y agoa variaty of methods exists that accomplish this, including DS-lite, 6in4, 6to4 and XSLAT tunneling.
- neojima 8y agoa) It's a translator, not a tunnel. b) You're ultimately still right that it enables connectivity to IPv4-only resources, but depending on the IPv6 client device, you may NEED to use a DNS 'A' record to get the traffic to use NAT64/DNS64, rather than trying to connect to a bare IPv4 address.
