Ask HN: Where can I get an IPv6
3 points by warent on April 10, 2022 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Title pretty much says it all. I'm paying for a block of static IPv4s for my business and it has helped me realize the value of IPv6.

What I really want now is just a bunch of IPv6 for my home server stuff. It seems like these addresses should be free, right? Do ISPs provide them yet? How do I get them?



ISP here. Just ask. You’ll likely get a /56 or /64 for free.


What country and ISP do you have? In the US, Comcast gives everyone a /64 for free (and I think a /56 or /48 for business).


Is universal access to IPv6 from IPv4 connections turned on now?


No, it is technically impossible to reach a 128-bit address from a 32-bit stack, except in special cases.
