You now get charged for ipv4 addresses as well. Less than nat, yes, but now ipv4 addresses are no longer free either.

  So upgrade to IPv6.

    and if you want to connect to anything ipv4-only like, say GitHub, then what?
    • chaz6 3y ago
      Use a nat64 gateway (a list is at https://nat64.xyz https://nat64.xyz).

        Just bolting on thing after thing to make it sort of work, maybe, sometimes. I'll be sticking with ipv4.
        • paulddraper 3y ago
          IPv6 NAT is "bolting on thing after thing" but IPv4 NAT is good architecture :P
          • dilyevsky 3y ago
            You do realize you also need dns64 for this to work right? So in fact your proposed architecture is strictly worse
            • orangeboats 3y ago
              It doesn't take much effort to setup DNS64 though. Source: I have used NAT64 myself before.
      • dilyevsky 3y ago
        Not something i would use in prod and also needs dns64
    • api 3y ago
      How is GitHub still IPv4 only? Ridiculous.
      • dilyevsky 3y ago
        They're not the only ones either. OpenAI also doesn't have ipv6 APIs, and neither does Stripe, many many others....

          Or, y'know.... 89% of AWS own services: https://awsipv6.neveragain.de/ https://awsipv6.neveragain.de/

          Tbh this site is pretty misleading. Fastly and Cloudflare support ipv6 pretty well in their productы, it’s just that their marketing team apparently don’t care
          • diggan 3y ago
            > Tbh this site is pretty misleading The website is pretty explicit about that it's testing if a domain/website is available over IPv6 vs IPv4. Clicking on a website also sends you to https://ipv6.fail/domain/cloudflare.net/ https://ipv6.fail/domain/cloudflare.net/ where it's even more explicit what they're testing against. Wouldn't call it misleading exactly.

    Except that way many many AWS services can't do ipv6.
    • diggan 3y ago
      And since AWS/Amazon gets more money by not supporting IPv6 everywhere, why would they enable it?
