My web server still is! It's a super cheap old Dell desktop that draws precious little power :) I really want to get an IPv6 block assigned from my ISP, I've been meaning to, and really kick the tyres on using IPv6 public addresses for it, but I keep putting it off because I still don't really understand how it all works (and my router's port forwarding gives me some small measure of comfort that I haven't accidentally exposed everything)
- arjvik 4y agoNot sure how your router is configured, but mine (Netgear Orbi, so not a niche router with one-off software) still has terrible IPv6 support. The only options are to allow public routing to each of my devices, or to block it entirely. No port forwarding or firewalling all but a single port. So confirm your router works the way you expect before you try migrating from IPv4.
- girvo 4y agoYeah that's exactly what makes it complicated. It's an Asus RT-AX86U which does have some support for IPv6 handling, but I still don't understand it fully which is why I keep putting it off, but I also don't want to keep paying $5 AUD a month for a static IPv4 address
