 this is why they will put off actually enabling full IPv6 for as long as they can to keep us trapped in LANs behind NAT

 TLS all looks the same... if an IP appears to not be online from you, but you can check from a third party it is online, then you can prove the ISP is filtering your traffic, and then they have a game of whack-a-mole when you move to using a VPN

unfortunately, yes, ISPs have a lot of power, and mostly they play fair to keep customers but ultimately if the government orders them to do shit, even in secret, you have to defend yourself

it's shitty, but that's the world we live in currently... a total farce of pretense of civility, with vicious, satanic evil behind the curtain

 also, that's the thing

going from 32 bits to 128 is such a big jump that it goes from whack a mole game to infinity whack a mole

that's why we don't have ipv6 everywhere yet

it's been 30 years since the standard was mostly finalised, and we are still waiting for everyone to stop running 10 year old firmware that didn't implement it

why?

because fuck you, obviously
