IPv6 only VPS ... setting up IPv4 connection

timsantimsan
in Help

It seems that IPv6 only vps services will become the next very big thing in the (inexpensive) VPS world.

I've never had a IPv6 only VPS. I was just wondering how to set up IPv4 connectivity to the IPv6 only vps.

I have read this:

https://iblog.ovh/how-to-get-ipv4-connectivity-on-an-ipv6-only-vps/

It seems not too difficult -- or would there be more to do here?

    Here's another way - using vxlan

    Cloudflare WARP could be a possible option too.

    NAT64 makes it fairly painless, but it bemuses me that providers will sell you an IPv6-only service without running any sort of NAT64/DNS64 gateway for stupid parts of the internet that refuse to enter the 21st century (yes, GitHub, I'm looking at you).

    Yes, there are public services, but it should be a no-brainer for any decent provider to provide something more local for their customers.

    There are even providers who want to sell some IPv6-only services, but other services they also want to sell are IPv4-only. Makes for a perfect combination if you want to access one service from the other.

    Too bad Microsoft bought them. MS is super weird when it comes to IPv6 support. Some of their services are available through v6. However here comes the irony: their login is ipv4 only... at least that's what it used to be 6 months ago. There have been some blog posts about this. I highly doubt Github will get native ipv6 any time soon. Gitlab on the other hand fully supports ipv6 :D

    I would always suggest to connect an ipv6 only server do a dual stack server through a tunnel or whatsoever and avoid any pain.
    Offering IPv6 support shouldn't be hard for vast majority anyway.

    I don't think it's fair to blame Microsoft for Github's insane resistance to IPv6 - they've been saying "oh yeah we're working on it" for literally decades.

    Ipv4 is not expensive enough to be worth my time yet...

    Yeah don't get started on that. Simple solution to that is actually not using ipv6 on any azure server or service at all. Azure overall is quite overpriced for what they deliver tbh but that's just my opinion. In the end it is the company paying for it.

    Btw do they still do the Nat thing for ipv6 on azure servers? All I heard was that ipv6 is at least free now and they won't charge 12$+ for a single ipv6 address-

    There is quite literally nothing about IPv6 on servers. The docs are too technical. I am trying to add an IP, not setup a Cisco Router through command line (even that is easier).

    As a provider, we do NAT64 and DNS64. Our IPv6 only VPS can reach v4 only destination, with that addition.

    IPv4 hoarders have no interest in pushing IPv6. Microsoft bought 667,000 IPv4 addresses in 2011 from Nortel for $7.5 million on top of what they had already.
    They made another purchase of 1.8 million IPv4 addresses [20.160.0.0/12,20.180.0.0/14, 20.184.0.0/13] from Computer Science Corporation (currently known as DXC Technolgy) in February 2017.

    Connect these 2, add a default route on your IPv6 only machine, profit.

    Yeah, yeah, I get it. Microsoft evil.

    I'm just saying, Github's distaste for IPv6 massively predates any involvement from Microsoft; it really has nothing to do with them.

    I get it too. Just wanted to say that from a business perspective solely there's not much incentive for MS to push IPv6. At least not for now.
    Unlike some newer businesses, they don't feel shortage because they were/are capable of investing in IPv4 hoarding.

    Besides, they'd devalue their investments by pushing IPv6...

    Having a VPS that is connected via mesh in Russia is really useful.
    Github is barely usable, no way to update wg-mesh.

    ip route add 140.82.112.3 via 10.0.251.1
