XDA ☛ I embraced IPv6 at home, and it went better than I expected
Most of us live our digital lives behind a layer of Network Address Translation (NAT), where dozens of devices share a single public IPv4 address at home. IPv6 was officially standardized in 2017, 22 years after its introduction, with the intent of replacing IPv4, but adoption has been mercilessly slow. As of Oct. 27, 2025, only 44% of users worldwide use IPv6 to access Google, primarily because it's easier to rely on NAT to access the internet.
NAT was only ever intended as a temporary solution as IPv4 address space began shrinking during the Internet’s rapid expansion, yet it still dominates modern networking today. And it causes a host of problems with end-to-end connectivity, complicating online gaming, peer-to-peer services, remote access, and port forwarding.
