Yeah I can't make sense of this article easier. How is IPv6 supposed to solve this? IP is for routing which is tied to geography, not identity. And wouldn't dynamic DNS make your website unresolvable for at least a minute or two every time your IP changes?

I took it to mean he was discussing phones that are on IPv6 only networks.

Yeah but I'm asking how does that help? As the phone hops around, the IP address will change, whether it's v6 or v4. Are they expecting IPv6 will be stable no matter where in the world you travel?

A DDNS service seems like a trivial add-on to make this work.

I think the bigger issue is the number of mobile devices behind CGNAT.

I responded to this earlier: wouldn't dynamic DNS make your website unresolvable for at least a minute or two (or much longer if your TTL is longer) every time your IP changes?

Yeah I agree on that, they already mentioned that part.
