So why is it that your system is still using IPv4 to connect to the internet? This is a response to : https://github.com/becarpenter/misc/blob/main/why6why.md https://lobste.rs/s/m0c78b/why_is_ipv6_so_complicated The doc is insightful, but it misunderstands why IPv6 is still a pain. It is also wrong about the “IPv8” option, which is actually nicely illustrated with the adoption of DNS-SEC and longer ATM frames.
