Your mobile network is probably still V6 at the core. They're either giving you V4 at the endpoint or your phone is hiding V6 from you. Android or iOS? Apple stuff is V6 native now. Android's gonna be mixed.
Depends on the carrier network though. I am on Spectrum (Verizon network) in Ohio and get V6 with CGN for V4. My wired ISP provides dual stack.
- anderspitman 4y agoCan you ping directly to your phone from another device, or access a webserver on it? That would be awesome.
- api 4y agoNever tried but I somehow doubt it. Standard issue UDP hole punching absolutely does work though. You still usually need hole punching with IPv6 if there's any kind of firewall in the way, but unlike IPv4 with NAT it's virtually 100% successful. Even if IPv6 NAT is deployed there's usually a 1:1 internal/external IP mapping making hole punching 100% successful.
