Same although for a totally different reason. There are some services that really don't like gtlds and they will say your address is invalid if it doesn't end in .com, .net, or .org...all my serious domains are gtld...so some services have emails on meme domains because the only domains I have with traditional tlds are memes

Reading the README on the GitHub is amazing. I love the energy of this project if nothing else

Historically it used to be running on my local router/firewall and the pure v6 was just between my devices and that firewall. However my setup has changed considerably since then and nat64 has been moved to a VPS out of my normal network path because I got my own public v6 space. So my current setup is basically firewall -> VPN -> VPS with BGP for normal(v6) internet comms. That whole path is pure v6 and then in the same datacenter as that BGP VPS is my NAT64 VPS. Beautiful thing about NAT64 is you don't actually need it local if you don't want. There's even a fully public service for free if you don't want to setup your own and don't mind the tradeoffs (bad latency, shared IPs, low bandwidth) https://nat64.net/.

If it goes down for some reason I just lose access to websites that don't normally have AAAA records, which sounds like a big loss but honestly I've been running NAT64 in some capacity since 2019 and so over time I have sort of black balled services that don't have v6 in favor of ones that do so very little of my normal online activity normally needs v4. I actually have packet counting on my firewall tracking the amount of data exchanged with various large services, Google, Cloudflare, etc, my NAT64 VPS is one of the things it tracks and compared to my total traffic the NAT64 traffic is a very small <10% of my normal internet usage at this point.

No not really, I just don't like having the address on my interface, ironically it doesn't break half the stuff that removing 127.0.0.1 does...but I do that too XD. Removing loopback isn't actually THAT bad but I've found more stuff that struggles with that than with not having a clat

If you're going to regex why not use rename instead of writing a script for it?

I deliberately don't want or use a clat, the goal is to avoid IPv4

Honestly I feel like that's very common with Linux. If you're willing to deal with the growing pain of switching it ends up working out better in the end, some people just don't want to deal with that or it's their job and they can't afford to deal with that. I'm sympathetic to the latter case, less to the former but that's just my opinion

It's gotten better but I'm not v6 only, I just don't have v4. I have NAT64 which basically uses your IPv6 as the private address in a traditional NAT setup, allowing you to continue to access the legacy internet without IPv4 inside your network. Catch is you can't connect to IPv4 addresses because it relies on a DNS64 server to generate IPv6 AAAA records from the IPv4 address when a domain only returns IPv4 so only DNS based services work. Basically it lets you have all the befits of a v6 only network with few of the drawbacks.

...right...I can't view this meme LMAO...I don't have IPv4 on my network 🤣

Too bad it doesn't work, probably because of vhosting

Yep, I'm aware of that too, doesn't change my initial point

...right...tell that to cmd.exe or the OpenVPN daemon, or the soft ether VPN daemon, or OpenConsole.exe, or Idk, I only tested 4 that immediately came to mind but my point stands. There are a lot of programs that do not have a window handle and do not bother with window messages.
