Why have a VPN on an inherently unsafe platform?

ipv6 deserves to die. no solutions, only problems.
I eagerly admit that I don't know Jack S!All I know is that an instance of IPv4 is a 32-bit integer that obeys the respective arithmetic and needs simple GUI controls.An instance of IPv6 is a 128-bit integer that is not immediately supported on many platforms and requires way more complex GUI controls. It also takes 4x the space in memory and logs.As an admin, I hate IPv6. As a dev, I hate IPv6. Had they simply added 1, 2, 3, or worst case scenario 4 bytes to IPv4, it still would have been a 64-bit integer that most platforms support today, and it would have solved the problem of too few IP addresses, without opening another whole can of worms.
Try to hammer IPv12 through the space senate.
As an admin, you should use your DNS server.IPv6 has been developed to address a lot of shortcomings of IPv4, not only, maybe not even primarily the lack of IP address space.Some of those are of course now obsolete, but there are useful attempts to solve real problems in there.As for the OP, the direct quote seems to be that he does not see IPv6 replace IPv4 COMPLETELY.I don't either, but that's not really a strong statement.I still see room for IPv4 in LAN network addressing, though ULAs would be better. There will also always be public IPv4 connectivity for the big internet services, and IPv4 CGNAT will be with us for quite a while.
64 bits is not nearly enough for route aggregation and hierarchies.
