and if you want to connect to anything ipv4-only like, say GitHub, then what?

How is GitHub still IPv4 only? Ridiculous.

They're not the only ones either. OpenAI also doesn't have ipv6 APIs, and neither does Stripe, many many others....

Or, y'know.... 89% of AWS own services: https://awsipv6.neveragain.de/

Tbh this site is pretty misleading. Fastly and Cloudflare support ipv6 pretty well in their productы, it’s just that their marketing team apparently don’t care

> Tbh this site is pretty misleading

The website is pretty explicit about that it's testing if a domain/website is available over IPv6 vs IPv4. Clicking on a website also sends you to https://ipv6.fail/domain/cloudflare.net/ where it's even more explicit what they're testing against. Wouldn't call it misleading exactly.

Use a nat64 gateway (a list is at https://nat64.xyz).

Just bolting on thing after thing to make it sort of work, maybe, sometimes.

I'll be sticking with ipv4.

IPv6 NAT is "bolting on thing after thing" but IPv4 NAT is good architecture :P

You do realize you also need dns64 for this to work right? So in fact your proposed architecture is strictly worse

It doesn't take much effort to setup DNS64 though.

Source: I have used NAT64 myself before.

Not something i would use in prod and also needs dns64
