"Pretty useless" is nonsense; Google works on IPv6, and 41% of Google's users access it via IPv6 [1]. "Most people" is also not true: most internet users use Google [2] (those not accessing it via IPv6 probably can't).

- apapapa 3y agoBecause you can access a website on both ipv4 and IPv6 doesn't really make IPv6 all that useful because you could disable it and still be able to access the same resource using ipv4...
- ivlad 3y agoBy that logic, you can disable IPv4 and still access the site via IPv6. IPv4 is useless. Also, running dual-stacked servers I can confirm, all scans come via IPv4, so not only it is useless, it’s actually less secure to use it.
- apapapa 3y agoBy that measure, port 22 is useless because you can change it....
- patmorgan23 3y agoHow about all of the people who wouldn't be able to access the Internet because their country doesn't have enough v4 address. Or who's internet connection is better/faster because they're no longer behind a CG-NAT. (Think mobile carriers, developing countries, China, India, etc)
