Parents' laptop recently had an inscrutable problem where only a handful of sites worked. Turned out to only be able to load ipv6 websites. On virtually every Google result while fixing the issue, the only way to see the contents was from Google's cache, so it seems like server side adoption is still pretty scarce.
- ridgewell 8y agoDid you find out what the issue was in the end? Was it because the IPv4 adapters were disabled? Server side adoption is honestly not that bad. Quite a few major datacenters implement IPv6, but people don't set their A records or slightly modify their config for an IPv6 interface. Cloudflare provides a temporary proxy solution in that it offers IPv6, but it isn't really true IPv6.
- jimmaswell 8y agoI believe it was the ipv4 adapters being disabled, or something else being disabled or set wrong in the adapter settings. No idea how it gets like that in the first place, but apparently it's a problem that's happened to other people often enough for there to be a few threads about it on various support forums.
