NAT was the only thing keeping us safe. Sure, IPv6 lets you connect things directly to the Internet, but it turns out that that's a bad idea. Security by obscurity on the router level totally works.
>Data leaks are also super prominent with it
can you give an example of what you mean?

>be told ipv6 is gonna be used widespread soon >hardly anything uses it outside of google and youtube
LOLOLOL
ipv6 is very widespread it's just not very consumer widespread. Thirdies will be forced to adopt it when they eventually figure out how to properly connect to the internet since all the shitter countries own a combined fuck all of the ipv4 address space.
No they don't.
[...]
Set up two firewalls you mean, as IPv6tards still have to use IPv4 lmao.
>No they don't
Yes they do, a lot of mobile networks are built with ipv6.
dual stack just terrifies sysadmins because even the most senior IT people are still retarded luddites.
But he's right.
ipv6 is ipv4 but not shit, it fixes every dumb thing about ipv4 fields and specifying the packet length along with next header makes it computationally faster to handle, removing FEC and checksum is also objectively better since every modern datalink layer has exceptional FEC coding and if it's a concern you use TCP (90% of the internet runs on TCP)
also no broadcast, literally unrequired in modern networks.
I've been a sysadmin at two companies with 1000+ hosts and every single network admin flat out refused to touch IPv6. It was immediately disabled on any network equipment installed and caused precisely 0 issues ever as a result. I don't blame them in the slightest, ipv6 is disgusting bloat that should be (and is) relegated to third worlders that can't afford an ipv4 address.
>1000 host
lmao shitter sysadmin filtered as usual
go pretend fixing whea errors is a real technical task or that anything about vmware is complex wooaahhh vmotion

There's a lot of things we could improve. Among those, the benefits of IPv6 are marginal. The cost of implementing it is also not very high but honestly, why bother. Unless you're starved of IP addresses there's no reason to switch.
>Unless you're starved of IP addresses there's no reason to switch.
I agree, there's nothing ipv6 offers that a different easy to implement protocol doesn't offer and you don't need to reconstruct all your addressing.
But I cannot comprehend how people are filtered by ipv6
Data leaks are also super prominent with it. Its fucking terrible.
>newer thing in computing or networking sucks
Wow I'm shocked

This is an side effect of NAT. Not a feature.
Use a fucking firewall like a human being
>being unable to host things is good, goyim
Fuck. Off.
He's referring to router NAT, not CG-NAT.
You can still host things in CG-NAT btw, you just need a reverse tunnel or similar.

do you basement dwellers really?
Paypigs will continue to pay AWS for their IPv4 addresses. Hello based department??
op here, I'm trans btw
doubting that until I see a macbook as proof
Unfortunately all smartphones use it, so its over 50% adoption now
No they don't.
Set up two firewalls you mean, as IPv6tards still have to use IPv4 lmao.
I use ipv6
Most of the websites I connect to use ipv6
Are you so third world they you can't use ipv6?
ipv6 is only needed for phones
simply make every armshit device be limited to ipv6
or better yet get back to the drawing board and make an ipv4v2
>ipv4v2
That is called IPv6.
don't reply to me retard

You're acting as if anyone here cared about facts lol

where is IPv5 ?
Where are IPv1, IPv2 and IPv3?
in the trash

>xhe still uses IP
For me flatpak was resolving IPv6 addresses to its servers and couldn't reach them, so I turned it off.
All of china uses ipv6
