At the ISP level, you have better chances of having IPv6 connectivity if you’re based out of a developing country, whose ISPs don’t have the means to pay for too many IPv4 ranges.

For servers, there are plenty; AWS Lightsail, Hetzner and Vultr both provide IPv6 out of the box. If you don’t have an ISP which provides IPv6, you could use a server and set up a wireguard tunnel for IPv6 connectivity.

I don’t know that this is true based on google’s IPv6 adoption data: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...

It seems like developing nations have the worst IPv6 adoption, at least by a cursory look of how there’s very little green in Africa, for instance.

I think ISP’s in countries with small IPv4 blocks just use CGNAT.

Thank you for the link. I was taking about India for the most part, but it seems France, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia are the leaders in IPv6 deployment, a weird mix of countries that I honestly didn’t expect.
I am in South Africa that has about 3% adoption, basically nothing.
