Sure - but I'd rather not tunnel everything through a VPN, especially given the fact that I already have relatively high latency.

Some users reported having IPv6 now and there is a site hosted on starlink via IPv6.
I'm interested, do you happen to know what it is?
Its a grafana dashboard and IPv6 only. not mine. http://starlink.awlnx.space/
And concerns about the frequency of captchas (unless you have a truly private/personal VPN).
based on the reply post description, I'm not sure this would be different from the experience without VPN ...
It is.

I have two connections - one "standard rural WISP" sort of thing, 25/3 on paper, what it delivers varies wildly. And then Starlink. My network is set up so I can easily switch systems between the two.

Starlink is far worse about "Random sites decide that I'm evil." Even things like Lowes have, at times, utterly refused to work, throwing nonsensical server error messages of the "Go away and quit scraping our content!" variety that go away when I use the same system, on the same page, just literally routed out the other ISP.

The benefits of CGNAT are that you're hiding in a lot of other traffic, but the downsides are exactly the same. And Starlink is far worse than cell data in terms of it.
