I&apos;m in an all-IPv6 network, but unless all websites automatically work flawlessly after Jun 6, 2012, I still need to access IPv4 resources.&lt;p&gt;I have an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack server which I can access from home via IPv6. I want to setup an IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel to connect to the server so that all devices in my home network can still operate in a private IPv4 network (for compatibility), and access to public IPv4 network is routed through the IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel to the dual-stack server.&lt;p&gt;The only solution that seems feasible right now is DS-Lite, but I couldn&apos;t find any helpful tutorial on how to setup it.&lt;p&gt;Right now I use DNS64/NAT64 on another server to access IPv4-only resources, but this combination doesn&apos;t work all the time. For example, Dropbox client doesn&apos;t work because (I suspect) it hard-coded the IPv4 addresses of remote servers. DNS64 cannot intercept direct IPv4 addressing so there is no way to translate it into fake IPv6 addresses to be routable via NAT64. In addition, DNS64/NAT64 requires a full /64 subnet on the remote server, which might not always be possible.&lt;p&gt;What is the general and practical strategy during the transition from IPv4 to IPv6?&lt;p&gt;Edited: here is the relavent link on serverfault.com where I posted the original question &lt;a href=&quot;http://serverfault.com/questions/326132/ipv6-only-client-to-ipv6-ipv4-dual-stack-server-tunnel&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://serverfault.com/questions/326132/ipv6-only-client-to-...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>World IPv6 Launch on June 6, 2012, To Bring Permanent IPv6 Deployment</title><url>http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2012/01/world-ipv6-launch-on-june-6-2012-to-bring-permanent-ipv6-deployment/</url><text></text></story>

As the successor to the current Internet Protocol, IPv4, IPv6 is critical to the Internet&apos;s continued growth as a platform for innovation and economic development.&lt;p&gt;&quot;The fact that leading companies across several industries are making significant commitments to participate in World IPv6 Launch is yet another indication that IPv6 is no longer a lab experiment; it&apos;s here and is an important next step in the Internet&apos;s evolution,&quot; commented Leslie Daigle, the Internet Society&apos;s Chief Internet Technology Officer. &quot;And, as there are more IPv6 services, it becomes increasingly important for companies to accelerate their own deployment plans.&quot;&lt;p&gt;ISPs participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 for enough users so that at least 1% of their wireline residential subscribers who visit participating websites will do so using IPv6 by 6 June 2012. These ISPs have committed that IPv6 will be available automatically as the normal course of business for a significant portion of their subscribers. Committed ISPs are:&lt;p&gt;-- AT&amp;#38;T&lt;p&gt;-- Comcast&lt;p&gt;-- Free Telecom&lt;p&gt;-- Internode&lt;p&gt;-- KDDI&lt;p&gt;-- Time Warner Cable&lt;p&gt;-- XS4ALL&lt;p&gt;Participating home networking equipment manufacturers will enable IPv6 by default through the range of their home router products by 6 June 2012. Committed equipment manufacturers are:&lt;p&gt;-- Cisco&lt;p&gt;-- D-Link&lt;p&gt;Web companies participating in World IPv6 Launch will enable IPv6 on their main websites permanently beginning 6 June 2012. Inaugural participants are:&lt;p&gt;-- Facebook ( www.facebook.com )&lt;p&gt;-- Google ( www.google.com )&lt;p&gt;-- Microsoft Bing ( www.bing.com )&lt;p&gt;-- Yahoo! ( www.yahoo.com )&lt;p&gt;Content delivery network providers Akamai and Limelight will be enabling their customers to join this list of participating websites by enabling IPv6 throughout their infrastructure.&lt;p&gt;As IPv4 addresses become increasingly scarce, every segment of the industry must act quickly to accelerate full IPv6 adoption or risk increased costs and limited functionality online for Internet users everywhere. World IPv6 Launch participants are leading the way in this effort.&lt;p&gt;For more information about World IPv6 Launch, products and services covered, as well as links to useful information for users and information about how other companies may participate, visit:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldipv6launch.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.worldipv6launch.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;About the need for IPv6&lt;p&gt;IPv4 has approximately four billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each Internet-connected device). The explosion in the number of people, devices, and web services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of space. IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol which provides more than 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses, will connect the billions of people not connected today and will help ensure the Internet can continue its current growth rate indefinitely.&lt;p&gt;About the Internet Society&lt;p&gt;The Internet Society is the world&apos;s trusted independent source of leadership for Internet policy, technology standards and future development. Based on its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society works with its members and Chapters around the world to promote the continued evolution and growth of the open Internet through dialog among companies, governments, and other organizations around the world.
