Are you on IPv4 or IPv6 (Poll)

This is an extension to the thread:
https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/7625/why-are-people-still-using-ipv4

Instead of asking why are people still using it, I want to how many people are on IPv6.

For me, my home router is on IPv4 + IPv6 however all of my servers are on IPv4 only. Is it the same for you?

Are you using IPv6 on any of your devices/router/servers?
  1. Yes, on all mobile devices, home router & servers63 votes
    1. Yes, but only on some home devices & servers
      25.40%
    2. Yes, only on all of my home devices

    3. Yes, only on all of my servers
        4.76%
    4. Yes, only on some of my servers
      11.11%
    5. No, all my home devices and servers run on IPv4

    Beware, the first "option" when creating the poll is a trap!

    Technically, I have IPv6 on all of my devices thanks to VPN. However, no home/mobile connection has native IPv6 connectivity, only servers.

    Damn... I even checked it over to make sure it was ok. Totally missed that. Now I cannot even edit it...

    My home has native IPv6 but only the newer phones/computers support it. None of the IOT devices support IPv6...

    How old is your phone? Wikipedia says IPv6 is supported since Android 4.2 (released 12 years ago)

    I am not sure if it is the phone OS customization, but one of the chinese phones in the house do not support IPv6. All samsung/iPhones phones we use supports IPv6.

    I still have not figured out how to enable IPv6 on any of the Linux home-servers I run in my house (all ubuntu/debian based), including my proxmox server...

    Unless you use custom kernel with IPv6 support disabled or sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1, it is enabled.

    IPv6 is enabled, but I cant get them to request a IP from my router... The windows PC does it just fine. So does my raspberry Pi, but proxmox config for IPv6 still confuses me and any LXC container running on proxmox can get a IPv4 ip from the router but not any IPv6 IP...

    Might be misconfiguration of firewall I believe

    No, it's probably a misconfiguration on the Proxmox network config itself. It picked up the IPv4 from the DHCP but can't do the same for IPv6 and I got no idea how to configure it properly... Last time I tried it, had to revert it cause it was no longer able to connect to the internet...

    Any VM on the KVM is able to get a IPv6 just fine, so some weird configuration miss-out on my end.

    All of my devices at home get v6 via AS55836, and Airtel was good enough to provide v6 with mobile networks, so there's that.

    For Gaming, Windows machine runs IPv4 only.
    Otherwise Dualstack if available.

    I run ipv6 on everything and some, but not all, of my servers are dual stacked with ip4 as well. Couldn't really find an option in the poll that matches that.

    Make sure your proxmox's and the lxc's net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 has the value 0.
    set your lxc's IPv6 address to be SLAAC.

    Because we can afford premium, IPv4-only connectivity.

    • IPv6 is soy milk, IPv4 is rich full cream milk;
    • IPv6 is margarine, IPv4 is dairy butter;
    • IPv6 is instant noodles, IPv4 is pasta Bolognaise;

    Yes, only on all of my home devices and only on some of my servers
    And the most powerful of the VPSs are using ipv9

    This was the issue. I did not use SLAAC but was trying with DHCP. Once I assigned a static IPv6 to the proxmox node and set the LXC to SLAAC and rebooted the container, it immediately got the IPv6 address!

    You probably don't have DHCPv6 set up. Which is why you are not getting an address via DHCP.

    SLAAC does not require DHCPv6. Rather, it takes the router advertisement containing prefix information and its own MAC address to formulate an IPv6 address.

    Glad I can help!

    Ya, forgot that native IPv6 support do not need a DHCPv6. As most other devices were picking up IPv6 automatically, it was my assumption that it was DHCP and not auto-self-assigned native IPv6.

    Again, thank you very much! This had been bugging me for over 2 years now that my server could not get IPv6 even though my ISP provides it!

    Now the new issue is my internal servers are accessible over the internet without going through my router's NAT firewall... Time to up the security on all! :(

    It's not NAT but it should still pass the firewall. Default to deny becomes more important than ever when you run ipv6. :smile:
