Amen. I dual stacked my home network 10 years ago. 5 years ago I joined an ISP that gave me CGNATv4 and IPv6 and I opted to disable IPv6 at the router.

- lmm 4y agoWhy? If you have an IPv4 address, even a dynamic one, then IPv6 may not offer you a lot of practical benefit, but CGNAT-only sucks if you're at all technical.
- Dagger2 4y agoIt sucks if you're non-technical too, it's just harder for non-technical users to figure out the underlying source of any problems they have. v6 also has better measured performance on webpage load times. Perhaps "pages load slightly slower than they could do" isn't a show-stopping problem, but faster would still be better, right?
- lmm 4y agoCGNAT specifically means you can't have even temporary peer-to-peer connections, e.g. non-server multiplayer games generally won't work. And forget about trying to host anything, dynamic DNS services can't help you here. That to me is a much bigger problem than IPv4 in general being a bit slower.
