IPv4 uses a Let's Encrypt certificate, while IPv6 uses an Amazon certificate.

The Vercel IPv6 feature request & surrounding discussion makes for frustrating reading: https://github.com/orgs/vercel/discussions/47

Wow, all comments removed as spam or hidden by default, update posted saying "We are targeting to land support for IPv6 towards the beginning of next year." Well, Q1 2024 has come and gone. Where's IPv6 support or the communication about what is happening? Good reason to never use Vercel if you ask me.

Oh wow, leerob actually edited the post after this removing the ETA (due to management/embarrassment?).

>I apologize for the slow response. We are targeting to land support for IPv6 towards the beginning of next year. We will communicate updates on this issue. Thanks for the patience.

So cringey. Why not just post a new post that said "sorry the deadline slipped, no new date available at the moment"? I will strongly recommend _against_ this company solely based on this communication. If this sort of gaslighting is how they handle their public comms, imagine how their support must be run.

Github is complicit too. No visual indicators or ways of seeing the comment was edited, just the original comment date.

Vercel's VP of product has been asking for requirements for IPv6 there. This should be a good one.

It painful to see tech providers go down this road, which is pretty similar to what's happening at Boeing. (Business taking over Engineering)

It feels like the same anywhere, sadly, DigitalOceans IPv6 support in their loadbalancer product have been "under review" since 2021: https://ideas.digitalocean.com/network/p/ipv6-for-load-balan...

Only if you expand all the discussion they've hidden! Ignorance is bliss, right?

> We are targeting to land support for IPv6 towards the beginning of next year. We will communicate updates on this issue.

Was from 2023-10-01, I guess it's early until June 30.

I'd say that the beginning of the year ends at the end of Q1, if not earlier.

What is it about ipv6 that is so difficult for hosting providers to support?

It costs money
