Is anybody using only IPv6 in their home lab? I keep running into weird problems where some services use only IPv6 and are “invisible” to everyone (I’m looking at you, Java!) I end up disabling IPv6 to force everything to the same protocol, but I started wondering, “why not disable IPv4 instead?” I’d have half as many firewall rules, routes and configurations. What are the risks?
Lets say you have a bunch of self hosted servers. How are you tracking their ips on ipv6? Are you able to type the ip off the top of your head? I feel like its very simple with ipv4.
