What's needed to have IPv6 support? Hosting with IPv6 support, right?
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago- A domain name with working AAAA records - Your site reachable over IPv6 And possibly: - Any software packages (Wordpress, phpBB, etc.) working correctly with IPv6
- tomjen3 14y agoDoes apache default to IPv6 support?
- spindritf 14y agoA DNS server which serves your zone available over IPv6 would also be nice.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoOoh, that too. That would be ironic if it wasn't.
- eastdakota 14y agoCloudFlare provides a IPv6 -> IPv4 gateway. As a result, if you're on CloudFlare, your host doesn't need to have IPv6 support for your site to be available. You can enable the gateway for free. CloudFlare's DNS listens on IPv6 and will return a valid AAAA record when requested. If your host supports IPv6 then the connection is IPv6 end-to-end. If your host only supports IPv4 then the connection is IPv6 from the browser to CloudFlare's network, and then IPv4 from CloudFlare's network to your origin server.
