What we need is to move to IPv6, not more IPv4 hacks.
Imagine how quickly websites would add IPv6 support if google started prioritizing websites with IPv6 in their search results. We probably need to pass a law that will force ISPs to enable IPv6 support for all of their customers though.
Amazon is going to (if they haven’t already) start charging a lot for IPv4 leases. Given how much of AWS the world uses, I imagine this will start the transition to IPv6.
GCP and Azure need to do the same.
In 2002 I was running a medium-sized ISP and we were conserving IPv4 addresses like they were the most valuable resource on eqrth because "they were about to be used up" and we needed to push to IPv6 to save the future of the internet... (hands in the air exasperated emoji)
Interesting, I wonder if it will happen
Jesus FUCKING Christ when will you stupid fucks move into the modern era
Like fucking Cox in Oklahoma STILL uses fucking ipv4 and they have had problems with issuing duplicate addresses for over a fucking DECADE
That is fucking pathetic. Fuck Cox's neanderthal leadership and fuck them for thinking that your service going down for 30 minutes EVERY DAY is fucking acceptable. Plus, their servicemen are straight untrained garbage.
In comparison, I used ATT fiber for a while and it was perfect, and used ipv6 natively, as well as had an easier install, and allows for port forwarding. We need to do what China has and start executing these clowns who have wasted literal trillions of subsidies on twiddling their thumbs and gouging customers who have no other choice but to deal with their bullshit.
