   @mikael This has been my experience with #verizon. If I had Verizon residential IPv4, I’d get residential IPv6 automatically. To get static #IPv4 I had to go to Verizon Business, and #IPv6 was not available so I had to get a hurricane electric tunnel. #homelan

     @gyptazy in my case, I’m paying for the static IPs and business grade service. I would resent having to also pay for a VPS to make it work. And if you have a 500Mbit or gigabit service to your house, how much of that will you get if you route all your traffic through an inexpensive VPS? It seems like paying more and getting less.

     @namedbird it’s a cute idea, but I don’t know how to do that. It’s not really an option? I don’t have any ipv6 business ISPs?

     Depends on the needs… the cheapest VPS with v4 could already do it. WireGuard tunnel and you’re ready to go…

     @paco @mikael If you really care about #IPv6 and can't get both at the same time from your ISP, then you should take IPv6 native and do IPv4 trough a tunnel. This way you incentivize the rollout of IPv6 by making the alternative slower.
     (And ideally you show all v4 connecting users a banner telling them their ISP sucks. 🙃 )

     @paco @gyptazy @namedbird @mikael most VPS don't have unlimited data though. The only ones I could find to use for this purpose were from OVH
