I’ve been doing IPv4 networking for decades, and recently decided to take plunge and update all my gear and systems to IPv6.

So far, it’s a train wreck.

20 years in, and none of the major platforms support IPv6 in a consistent way (DHCP6 vs. SLAAC, anyone?), there is little to no analytical or diagnostic tooling, no (working) walkthroughs of equivalencies to standard IPv4 practices, little security clarity, …

This IPv6 debacle is a self-own of major proportions.

Note Google shows 0% of people using 6to4/teredo. That fits my experience that 6to4/teredo didn't work when I tried it.

My ISP is struggling to replace copper with fiber. That's something that makes a difference in my life. IPv6 doesn't make a difference. If anything it's a submarine network that could hide security problems.
