There are already cases of Internet connectivity issues due to overloaded CGNAT. I know for a while I could only visit IPv6 websites, IPv4 technically works but the amount of packet drops meant that my IPv4 internet speed was only about 15KB/s!
It's the whole reason why I discovered a DNS server that synthesizes AAAA records, for websites that actually support IPv6 through their CDN. [0]
> As you said though, those users can reach v4 websites.
Therefore, the question is: Can those users really reach IPv4 websites?
Mind you, I don't expect the CGNAT-overloading issue to relieve over time -- unless we deploy IPv6 everywhere ;)
