Another perfect example of a sweeping statement from Amrosa laden with value judgements and then he wonders why he pisses people off?

The reason for IPv6 is to mandate that every internet connected device has a fixed IP and can be *directly* reachable. On the surface great idea, but ever considered there might be something more sinister beneath that candy-coated veil?. You ought to know better living in a country that once upon a time considered it a federal offense to export 64/128bit encrytion technologies.

Very happy with IPv4 here and will be for a long time to come into the near forseeable future. Maybe if you actually read the entire thread.

IPv6 Address: 2605:A000:132E:8021:743D:B8AF:710D:B055 (which is a Time Warner Cable address from Herndon, Virginia, USA)

Unloaded Cube: I live in America, and I assure you that is NOT my IP Address.

Pointing out to Unloaded Cube that there are places in America where ISPs are using IPv6 and not all addresses in the United States are IPv4. That may well be the case in Australia, but not the United States.

You left out the fact that IPv4 can only produce 4 billion discrete addresses, discounting the fact that you can create an internal routing table on an internal network which in practice increases this number, and given that the internet of things would add many more than 4 billion devices, the IPv6 protocol was introduce... but of course it must be a deep state conspiracy.

LOL!

i'm an IPv4 guy. I like to keep things short. I must have missed something!. But yes, i'm pretty good at remembering IP addresses, just not the ones that look more like IPX addresses.

But seriously, did I really need to state the fact that we are running out of IPv4 addresses? I thought that was implicit when I said one of the reasons for moving to IPv6 was that big brother wanted all IP addresses to be "directly" reachable. (i.e. IPv4 addresses behind a NAT are not directly reachable). But ok then! my bad!

Do you run nslookups on Fandom Guests? Just curious :) Must be killing you all those dynamic ones hey?
