So my server only has an ipv6 address cos my ISP won’t give me an ipv4 without an extortionate fee.
The problem is that my mobile service provider only gives me an ipv4. Hence my phone cannot route to my server without some asshole sitting in the middle.
I’m using a cloudflare tunnel for this but as such that means cloudflare is essentially mitm all my traffic this makes me quite uncomfortable.
Also the fact ipv4 still exists is a pain in the ass for routing etc etc.
So would it be possible for a whole bunch of people to ddos google/other big popular websites ipv4 to ipv6 translation such that their services would still function over ipv6 but make everyone’s day awful if running ipv4. Enough angry customers and pissed off users seems like a very effective way to get isps and mobile service providers to get their act together and start issue sing ipv6 to people. I not suggesting anyone do this (as suggesting as such would be illegal) but theoretically would this be possible?
There are ways to make that irrelevant. I use a cheap vps and just have it funnel raw traffic for the ports I need to my home server via wireguard. All my SSL certs live on my machine and the VPS can’t see any of the traffic contents. I suppose they could redirect traffic elsewhere or start serving whatever on that domain, but I would know immediately and there are some limits to my paranoia.
