Sounds interesting. I'll do it & mention you after it is done!

Yes IPv6 is a lot cleaner implementation, for instance AWS uses NAT and various other kludges to conserve address space with legacy IP, but v6 they just route you a block.

The NAT might work here because it's 1:1 so it just forwards anything unknown to a single address, with a 1:many arrangement it simply wouldnt know where to send unknown traffic.

Legacy IP basically stifles development of new protocols, for instance SCTP has been around many years and offers a lot of benefits but won't make it through most NAT gateways.

Excellent suggestion. I tried it out and updated the readme

You can see the exact changes here #3

AWS worked, how about digital ocean? Or is that explicitly blocking unknown protocols? They do have v6 support.
I suspect Azure would not work, as they NAT v6 traffic for some reason.

Yep, it is mentioned in their docs that they block non-standard protocols, and even some standardized protocols that are unusued

That's interesting. Not sure what would be gained by NAT'ing IPv6. Will be interesting to try out sometime
