The majority of Internet traffic in the United States is IPv6, it's time to start the process of ripping the band-aids off IPv4

We're already at the point of no new IP allocations, CG-NAT becoming the norm, and most consumer traffic in the US and most of Europe being well over 50%; so the real question is, when do we really start getting serious about removing these band-aids? I feel like consumer hardware is still guilty of not supporting IPv6 in the ways it should to make life easier for system administrators. Simple things like making it point and click easy to see which IPv6 Neighbors are on a LAN from a router the same way we see a DHCP Lease list. Firewalls being easier to setup and understand for the people that don't live in a world of networking every day. CLAT / NAT64 being a normal part of every day setups with zero pain to get it done on our systems. Support for IPv6 still needs work, and it needs to start from the perspective of the SMB / Small Network Admin that doesn't fully understand DHCPv6-PD and SLAAC and where those should live. I think it starts with better user interfaces, better defaults, and more educational resources. Then we need to start thinking of getting rid of IPv4 in our LANs by default and only seeing IPv4 via NAT64/DNS64 on home routers.

UnifFi update brings more coherent support of IPv6, bringing automatic detection of ISP IPv6 support and simpler IPv6 configuration

From the article:

>IPv6 support continues to expand with automatic ISP dual-stack detection and WireGuard VPN over IPv6. For deployments operating behind CG-NAT, Teleport VPN helps maintain dependable remote access connectivity using our WiFiman client application or our UniFi Travel Router. However your ISP provides connectivity, UniFi is ready to help you make the most of your connection’s capabilities.
