AWS to Begin Charging for Public IPv4 Addresses

I couldn't believe it either, but using Chome on ChromeOS 114, updated yesterday, all the public sites report that I am connecting from 2002::/16

Interesting. It's only possible to terminate 2002::/16 using a public IPv4 address, so if you're behind a NAT router, then the router itself must be running 6to4.

Aha! Thanks for the hint: I recently had to reconfigure my router from factory settings. The IPv6 configuration, sure enough, was kicked into 6to4 mode. I set it to "Auto Config" and now I've got end-to-end IPv6 connectivity with, look Ma, no NAT!

Thank you, p1mrx!
