If you don't mind proxying your traffic, Cloudflare can be used as a reverse proxy in front of an IPv6 only address and they will create an IPv4 address for your site too.
This allows your own server to be IPv6 only, and still hosts websites to IPv4 customers.
This off course won't work for stuff like email...
- ChuckMcM 12y agoI wondered about doing stuff like this, a sort of V4->V6 NAT :-) Have you used the Cloudflare service? If so how did you like it?
- X-Istence 12y agoI have used the Cloudflare service. I had an issue with their IPv4 -> IPv6 in their Dallas datacenter that got resolved after chatting with their CEO on Twitter. Since then I have always also added an IPv4 fall-back as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Cloudflare though :-)
- Spittie 12y agoI've tried it for a while, for me it was down about half of the time (error 501/502/522 on CloudFlare), At a certain point, I could access my site from my phone mobile connection, but not from my home connection. I've opened a ticket and was told that there were some problems with the servers/route (can't remember exactly, sorry) but was not given any ETA. It was a while ago, and I remember it was during the time CloudFlare was being ddossed, so maybe it's fixed now and it work just fine, but I haven't tried again.
- xxdesmus 12y agoThat is correct -- http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflares-automatic-ipv6-gatewa http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cloudflares-automatic... Even if you only have a v6 back-end (like this VPS) you can use CloudFlare's gateway to enable v4 and v6 access to your site.
