Yeah, I cleaned-up the dns zones and I've also started to use your NAT64 service (it works great!).

That way I was able to remove a subnet that I used only for outbound stuffs.

No need, they take care of going down themselves lately!

I see. However Cloudflare these days doesn't give me much confidence. I would like to avoid using them if at all possible.

But that's also a possibility.

I'll give a shot in the next days going IPv6 only, then I'll check if it's feasible or not.

It's possible that, for the majority of my use, it will be just fine.

I know that you are right :).

However, my provider doesn't even sell IPv4 addresses anymore to home users and no, it would be stupid for a just a homelab to pay double o triple the current price for a business plan.

I use netitier right now, a small free service kindly provided by @kasperd, where you just map an A record with the service IP along to the related AAAA one. It works, by acting as a middleman between the IPv4 and the IPv6 world for a set of different services, but makes things a bit harder to manage on the DNS side. Not that big of a deal, but for a personal thing do I really need it?

The only services I'm worried a bit about are:

• Activitypub federation.
• E-mail.

For the former the issue may be obvious: I have my instance on IPv6 and other instances are IPv4 only, those are not going to communicate.

For the e-mail: unfortunately I still really need it. The situation is less problematic there.

As for the blog or website. Well, who cares :)

As I've added a new board to my homelab to only act as firewall and reverse proxy just today, it may be time to see how it goes.

It will always be possible to revert, in the end.
