    > Honest question- Would a full IPv6 implementation across the board, hurt Tailscale's M.O. and bottom line, assuming all routing worked properly (a big assumption, to be sure)?
Despite what people say, absolutely. Tailscale's moat is the centrally deployed NAT traversal solutions built with an easy-to-use interface and (somewhat) friendly pricing model. At one point they wrote a blog post (looks to be deleted) basically saying that IPv6 and direct connectivity in general is 'bad actually' or something along those lines.

Tailscale also goes through firewalls, not only NAT boxes. IPv6 won’t change firewall needs.
Can tailscale work when firewalls block outgoing udp from everywhere except the company web proxy server ?
I think I actually have that in production somewhere, going through DERP always
Tailscale can work anywhere you can get an https connection... but it might not be fast, since the relays used for this have various limits.
