http://google.com/ works fine for me, tested in Firefox and with curl -6. So it could actually be your side that is broken, although it is probably your ISP’s.
My side works fine, Google just doesn’t like the address. It’s a tunnelbroker address, maybe they consider that bots… but only for some of their servers? It’s weird
Oh okay, IMO IPv6 tunnels are worse than just disabling it, because it’s basically just a proxy with IPv6, and since there’s no encryption (at this layer) both your ISP and now the tunnel could collect your data, as well as added latency.
But I guess it’s okay for experimentation or if you actually require IPv6 for something.
Hard disagree there. It is a tunnel, it is plenty fast if the intermediate node is close enough, and why would you want encryption at the IP layer.
It works great and gives me IPv6 that I otherwise wouldn’t have with my ISP (Optimum), allowing me to connect to native IPv6 site and use all the IPv6 functionality I want (dedicated IPs for containers/VMs etc).
IPv6 became a draft standard in 1998, and did not officially lose the "draft" status until 2017.
Hurricane Electric launched their well-known IPv6 tunnel service in 2001.
Google has published IPv6 adoption stats since 2008. These stats consistently show a greater fraction of users are on IPv6 on the weekend, because it's more common on mobile and home networks than office networks.
Not to mention that we can “visualize” the segments and networks by the numbers. Makes it easier to recognize, as an analogy,
This state, that city, this road, that house.
Versus ipv6. Of course there’s so much space in v6 that it isn’t an issue except it’s such a pain to work with for people who tend to think in ipv4 octets and bit masks
IPv6 is also built like that and IP4 never was globally (except the country/region part), but it could be continued to be that router in the building, that device that network card in the device and even give separate IPs per service and serve them all on the same port.
It really isn't, but vendors often make the IPv6 config optional and often don't have an auto-config wizard for IPv6 like they often do for IPv4.
Take Ubiquiti EdgeOS, setting up a PPPoE with IPv4 has a dedicated GUI wizard that shows up when you first log on, but IPv6 config is all confusing CLI commands.
