VPN exclusively for IPv6 traffic
VPN exclusively for IPv6 traffic
You aim to set up a VPS with version four for better performance. Many large sites still lack IPv4 support, so you might want to avoid creating your own VPN ID.
There is usally a translation layer by the ISP or in this case the VPN provider might have their own translation layer. NAT64 is commonly used. There are also ways to translate IPv4 adresses locally to IPv6 adresses like 464XLAT. Not sure how well that would work with a VPN tho.
The issue centers around how your country manages DNS translations. When you try to reach your system uses a DNS server to convert the domain name into an IP address. Depending on availability, it might use IPv4 or IPv6. If IPv6 isn't supported, the server falls back to IPv4 and forwards it to your VPN provider. Your VPN then translates it to an IPv6 format that your router understands. If no such translation exists, the site won’t load. This process varies by VPN service and ISP, and in some regions certain providers handle these translations while others don’t. I can picture situations where countries lack this capability, like in Germany where mobile LTE networks are limited to IPv6 and ISPs provide the necessary conversion.
