We currently dont use ipv6 internally. No network changes were made at this location other then moving the proxy to the correct network for nbd connections. With that move some how made the ipv6 issue appear. So it was just easy to disable ipv6 in the proxy. I guess if we ever switch to ipv6 (no plans too) then i guess i will have to look back into it.
If any VMs are accessible online then it’s vital for IPv6 Readiness to be complete. As there are only IPv6 addresses now being available and issued to online users. Also if by proxy your referring to internet access proxy, you can have IPv6 disabled but beware that if any system in the access path to FQDN’s you, access goes IPv6 only you’ll be cut off.
If you mean XO Proxy then it’s even more vital to go IPv6 as you’ll likely, be transporting over an even wider part of the Internet.
Additionally IPv6 offers optional privacy extensions allowing for temporary addresses, amongst other enhancements. One major advantage of IPv6 is that the use of IPSec is built right into the stack itself rather than an add on protocol.
