Hi. This is my first post on Lemmy.

I want to test going IPv6-only in my home. I already enabled IPv6 functionality on my router. I can get two addresses from it on my computer: 192.168.0.x and 2402:xxxx (sorry, cannot remember the full address). My router shows two WAN IP: 100.64.x.x and 2402:xxxx.

If I disable IPv4 DHCP on my router, my computer shows only the IPv6 address, but many websites break. Is it not possible to go IPv6-only?

Sorry if I am not clear, I am not good in speaking English.

    NAT64 and DNS64. Going IPv6-only is not exactly an easy task for people who are not tech-savvy enough…

      I did mention not trivial also DNS64 isn’t that difficult comparatively. Especially since Google public DNS offers it. Setup the NAT, set your nameservers to 2001:4860:4860::6464 and you’re good.
