Also asked them if torrenting legal stuff is allowed and they said no.

    Dude, it’ll be a longer time than this guy is going to be on his ISP before he’ll need to worry about ipv6.

    OP - feel free to disable it, IMO.

      Seriously; they’ve been talking about v6 for like 3 decades now. I’ll believe it when I see it.

        Many ISPs are no longer handing out even 1 public ipv4 address per account, and instead opting for CGnat which further breaks and stratifies the internet.

        Tmobile for example is 464xlat which is even worse than cgnat since it requires tampering with dns responses.

        Given the situation many ISP are in, most serious companies offering services on the internet have supported ipv6 for a long time now in order to offer the most competitive service possible. And with cloudflare now serving up a large amount of traffic, a lot of all traffic is v6.

        Believe it or not, but IPv6 is here and gaining ground.

              Don’t be so quick to paint everyone with the same brush. I have had my Ccna since 2003, he.net ipv6 sage since like 2009, netadmin for literally millions of nodes. Architect for even more.

              And I still disable ipv6 on most machines for personal use.
