GOD DAMMIT my ISP doesn't support IPv6 😡😡😡

UPDATE: I contacted my ISP and managed to get them to give me IPv6. I can only pray that the IPv6 will continue to work in the future. It is actually kind of crazy that I had to contact them and go through the silly dance of "restart your router" "okay I did that, I still don't have IPv6" in order for them to actually fix their network so that IPv6 works for me. I think every ISP should provide working IPv6 out of the box.

 

 

I can't ping ipv6.google.com and my score on https://test-ipv6.com/ is 0/10

All the VPS vendors support IPV4 now...why doesn't my ISP support IPv6...it's unacceptable...There really ought to be some kind of government mandate that requires all ISPs to provide full IPv6 support.

I want to use one of those cheap IPv6-only VPSes, dammit! 😡😡😡

EDIT: Okay, I guess I'll use a he tunnel

EDIT: My router blocks ping so I can't even create a tunnel, god dammit. I can't use my VPS as the endpoint either, it says "This network is restricted"

EDIT: Okay, so I set up the he tunnel on one of my VPSes, now I can finally ping ipv6.google.com from that VPS but I get 2% packet loss when doing so. Note that I get 0% packet loss when I ping -4 google.com from that VPS so I'm pretty sure it's caused by using the he tunnel...😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ping stats:

--- ipv6.google.com ping statistics ---
5600 packets transmitted, 5506 received, 1.67857% packet loss, time 5608718ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 216.176/256.840/278.688/11.551 ms

---  ping statistics ---
5613 packets transmitted, 5611 received, 0.0356316% packet loss, time 5623708ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.223/10.337/25.901/0.226 ms

Maybe I am using the wrong he tunnel.
