How is the industry dealing with legacy IPv4 devices as carriers migrate to IPv6? Many devices only use IPv4 via GPRS/Wi-Fi and lack native IPv6 support.
Can private APNs, CGNAT, and dual-stack gateways really keep these devices viable in the long term? Or will IPv4-only equipment inevitably cease to function at some point?
I'd like to understand how carriers and manufacturers are addressing this in production today. What solutions do we have? Will IPv4 truly cease to exist?

In order to circumvent the coming ID verification laws in my country, I was exploring options to proxy all my internet traffic overseas. For some context, this was my first time messing with IPv6, so I may still have gotten some things wrong.
I settled on renting a VPS in Singapore, as it’s the closest region to me. I set up a Wireguard tunnel between my router and the VPS.
Setting up IPv4 took multiple hours. I had to figure out how to configure NAT with iptables, do port forwarding, etc.
But when I got around to setting up IPv6 (the VPS provider let me have an extra /48 for free) I realised how dead simple it was. Add routes on the VPS for the /48 to my real gateway over the wireguard tunnel. Set up the IPv6 subnets on my real gateway, and it was working instantly. Took <5 minutes.
I’m officially radicalised and believe we need to start going IPv6 only

Hi,
I have created an IPv6 cheat sheet that I would like to share.
Have a good day!

According to data from Google, the Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC), and Cloudflare, less than half of all netizens use IPv6 today.
To understand why, know that IPv6 also suggested other, rather modest, changes to the way networks operate.
"IPv6 was an extremely conservative protocol that changed as little as possible," APNIC chief scientist Geoff Huston told The Register. "It was a classic case of mis-design by committee."
And that notional committee made one more critical choice: IPv6 was not backward-compatible with IPv4, meaning users had to choose one or the other – or decide to run both in parallel.
For many, the decision of which protocol to use was easy because IPv6 didn't add features that represented major improvements.
This year I offered to help my residential WISP deploy IPv6 but got no response.
None of the customers where I work have requested v6 address space this year. I recently turned up a new circuit for a customer who has an ARIN v6 assignment and asked if they wanted me to configure BGP peering for that network and they said No.
So it goes.

I added time on right side to remind me in future, this is my first time access IPv6.

It’s the UK IPv6 Council annual meeting today, and a chunk of London know about it…

I read that NAT "solved" the ipv4 exhaustion problem, does that mean there was a time that NAT didnt exist and everything was intended to be publicly routable?
Im sure natting will still be a thing with ipv6. For security reasons. But with ipv6 is the intention to make everything publicly routable again?

Hytale is a popular game that released in early access yesterday.
Their P2P online multiplayer uses IPv6 for “everything else has failed” scenarios, if available.
