Nope. If you get assigned a routable IPv4 IP, you just have a shit ISP. I led the rollout one of the larger O365 implementations. Outlook and the office stack needed like 10-16 ports per user. We served like 150k people with 30 outbound IPs. If you have an IP, you have 64k+ ports to use.

I also deployed it as a pilot on an internal network. Other than getting direct IPv6 connectivity to some services, which sometimes gave us better performance, it conferred no advantage to us.

IPv6 is great for phones where you don't expect any inbound traffic. Even then, every US carrier is using Carrier NAT to route and proxy traffic for their own purposes.

I'm glad I have a shit ISP, then. So shitty being able to host my own software.

The “don’t” was missing. Honestly, I give up with Siri dictation. Either my voice has changed or it’s changed in a way that it doesn’t like my cadence or diction.

Either way, mea culpa.

Ah, no problem. It ended up with me doing a half day deep dive on IPv6 internals.
