Dumb question. Is the IPV6 adoption sufficiently advanced at this point to handle only IPV6?
Will the client's local machine/browser, DNS, and all the routers in between be able to handle a full IPV6 connection with no IPV4?
Or will I have to run a tunnel of some sort?
- canvayio 4y agoIt totally depends, to be honest. There are countries/ ISP with a very high IPv6 adoption, but also some that don't care at all. The idea is to use the built-in reverse proxy for proxying HTTP(S) requests and provide an IPv4 + IPv6 endpoint for your domain. That means your end users won't even notice the server is running on IPv6 only Google has some interesting stats on the IPv6 adoption rate: https://www.google.de/ipv6/statistics.html https://www.google.de/ipv6/statistics.html
- edmcnulty101 4y agoThanks for the info. Do you know if the average person in America will be able to access an IPV6 site from a browser without a reverse proxy of any sort?
- p1mrx 4y agoUS IPv6 adoption is at 51%, so the answer is just barely yes.
