It totally depends, to be honest. There are countries/ ISP with a very high IPv6 adoption, but also some that don't care at all.

The idea is to use the built-in reverse proxy for proxying HTTP(S) requests and provide an IPv4 + IPv6 endpoint for your domain.

That means your end users won't even notice the server is running on IPv6 only

Google has some interesting stats on the IPv6 adoption rate: https://www.google.de/ipv6/statistics.html


Thanks for the info.

Do you know if the average person in America will be able to access an IPV6 site from a browser without a reverse proxy of any sort?


US IPv6 adoption is at 51%, so the answer is just barely yes.


Yup, that's next on my list. I'm going to roll out larger fully routed IPv6 subnets first, then follow with port forwarding later


A dual stack reverse proxy is already implemented and provides your domains with full IPv4 capabilities.

So even IPv4 only clients can reach your domains


I've been a customer of Hetzner for several years, and I couldn't be happier with their services


By default 1TB per node, more is no problem, just pop in a ticket and I’ll increase the limit


for a month or a year?


per month :)


Good catch, I should probably state that on the landing page Each node is assigned a dedicated /64 with larger prefixes to follow soon


Thanks!

I know this might look like a small detail, but ipv6 geeks care about this kind of stuff :)

Since we're talking... Do you also delegate the reverse dns zone for the subnet you provide?


Thank you for your notice, this was definitely not the intention, I've added the contact details as well as VAT ID to the legal page


Sorry about that! Looks like your IP address is somehow listed as a "datacenter ip" which gets detected as a VPN


Which is correct, as I route my IPv6 via wireguard to my DC netblock, because my consumer ISP at home doesn't provide any IPv6.


Granted I was using IPv4, but I've had a lot of trouble using Wireguard to my Linode server for casual browsing. Google became unusable with repeated captchas, several gaming apps blocked my login. I wish web owners wouldn't automatically classify datacenter IPs as malicious. There must be better ways to block spam/bad actors than by the classification of their source IP.


yep agreed, I've disabled the IP detection


Thank you, fixed! :)


Hey, I've got a little nitpick too :)

In American English and the Queen's English, "I don't have IPv6, how to access my node?" is bad grammar and should be "I don't have IPv6, how do I access my node?". As a German selling things in Euro, you are clearly using International English and are free to make your own rules - (I do see this sentence structure a lot with non-native speakers). If that is the standard, us Americans will happily mind our own business. Not sure about the Brits.


Thank you! Yes I tried to shorten the sentence but messed it up in the process :)


Github works just fine, all VMs come preconfigured with a NAT64/ DNS64 nameserver server so you can reach IPv4 only systems as long as you try to resolve them via a domain.


My fault for commenting before reading TFA. Vultr's cheapest VM unfortunately doesn't work so nicely so I'm glad you've handled that.


Happens to the best of us :)
