I consistently get 100x as many captchas from google over V6 as over V4, on many different networks: it is obnoxious and obviously broken on their end.

- traderj0e 6mo agoIP reputation is a tough problem with a lot of establishment behind v4. Even if they were to build up v6 reputation, since v6 addresses are cheaper, wouldn't they have lower rep?
- jcalvinowens 6mo agoThe "reputation" concept has to be applied to network blocks in IPv6, because of privacy addresses, and they very clearly aren't doing that for whatever reason. I get at least one captcha a day from a stock Android phone that's been connecting from the same damn /64 for almost a whole year.
- traderj0e 6mo agoBut there are way more /64s than /32s. They could apply it to /32s in ipv6, but then customers would share rep unless ISPs lease out /32s instead. Unfortunately gotta pay to play.
- jcalvinowens 6mo agoThat could never work, my entire ISP is a /32
- traderj0e 6mo agoI'm guessing because the spec defines a network as a /64. Couldn't the ISP buy more space if they wanted to?
