You absolutely can. I’m single stacking IPv6 on my fresh hetzner box.

Cloudflare in front of web services and it just works(tm).

For everything else - Argo can do arbitrary TCP (requires cloudflared though) and then you can start bugging your ISP about the very real need for IPv6.

Well... yeah? That's adding support for both stacks; just because you farmed it out to a middle-man doesn't mean that it's not there.

Not strictly true. It means that you only have to worry about IPv6 addresses in Layer 7, and you can forget about layers 2 and 3 altogether.

And Layer 7 isn’t a problem for people who should be deploying IPv6 right now because https://ipv6bingo.com/
