Self-hosters compare IPv4, IPv6, and dual stack use
Google’s public traffic numbers recently showed IPv6 passing the 50% mark. The question is whether personal and networks are still using only IPv4, only IPv6, or with both versions enabled.
The practical point is that IPv6 is becoming normal enough to matter for small setups. Anyone running a may need to check whether the internet provider, router, firewall, and domain settings handle IPv6 correctly.
Key points
- Google’s IPv6 traffic has crossed 50%, which prompted the question.
- The poll asks whether networks use IPv4, IPv6, or .
- A setup depends on router, provider, firewall, and domain support for IPv6.
- IPv6 can change how works, so firewall rules matter.
