I don't think we need to worry about this, but FYI. Online.interlisp.org does use a fixed IPv4 address.

Hello,

You are receiving this message to inform you about the upcoming pricing update for your Amazon Lightsail instance bundles.

On January 25, 2024, Lightsail announced updated pricing for bundles [1] that include a public IPv4 address. Following AWS’s announcement on public IPv4 address charge [2], the prices of Lightsail bundles offered with a public IPv4 address will reflect the charge associated with the public IPv4 address. Starting May 1, 2024, revised prices will be effective for all new and existing bundles that include a public IPv4 address.

Amazon Lightsail now offers IPv6 bundles for use-cases that do not require a public IPv4 address. If a public IPv4 address is not required for your Lightsail workloads, we recommend migrating your instances to IPv6 bundles. To learn more about IPv6 bundles, see Lightsail documentation [3].

A list of your affected resource(s) can be found in the 'Affected resources' tab in the AWS Health Dashboard.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact AWS Support [4].

This only applies to wasm.interlisp.org (the emscripten site), which runs on AWS Lightsail.  (And I was aware of this upcoming pricing change when I set it up).

online.interlisp.org runs on an AWS EC2 instance using an ElasticIP address.  I'm pretty sure the IP4 tax has been baked into the ElasticIP pricing for a while now.

As far as I can tell, Lightsail is essentially "grab and go" EC2.  A Lightsail instance is essentially an EC2 instance with a specific software stack prepackaged, preconfigured, and ready to run.  wasm.interlisp.org uses the Ngnix package on Lightsail.

I don't think we have any particular requirement for either online or wasm to have only IPv4 addresses - most people today should be able to access a site via IPv6, right?

Visit https://test-ipv6.com and see if you've got the right things configured.

No joy for my ISP, Vodafone Italy, which doesn't support IPv6:

Hmm... AT&T says they support IPv6 and have provided IPv6 capable CPE for some time.  Perhaps it's a case of configuring it on?

My ISP had IPv6 disabled on my account.  I called them up and asked if
they had IPv6.  I could tell the CSR was looking at the phone like I had
two heads.  He just said no.  I said "How can you not have IPv6?  It's
been around for 20 years now."  He replied "Oh, well we wouldn't support
anything that old."  I finally got through to someone else who knew what
IPv6 was.

My ISP (Astound) says they have ISP in “most locations”. Turned on the default config on my router, but it’s not picking up a config so I suspect I’m not in one of those locations. I’ve called them before and like Michele’s experience, it’s a crapshoot on whether you find someone who knows what they’re talking about.

My fiber gateway, an ARRIS BGW210-700, says this:

Service Type native IPv6

And its built-in diagnostics tool appears to allow pinging IPv6 addresses.

I need to look into this more deeply.  A new hobby!
