IPv6 support for 4chan
Today we’re pleased to announce support for IPv6 on all of 4chan’s domains, thanks to CloudFlare’s new Pseudo IPv4 feature.
CloudFlare’s CEO, Matthew Prince, goes into more detail on their blog, but essentially they’ll accept traffic from our users over IPv6-enabled networks and route the request to our backend using plain ol’ IPv4. This removes the need for our application to be updated to natively support IPv6 (something we’re working on, but is a ways off).
Since IPv6’s address space is considerably larger than IPv4, the mapping of IPs won’t be one-to-one, however they believe it’s large enough to accommodate the transition period between now and applications having true IPv6 support.
If you’re using an IPv6-enabled network you may see a slight performance benefit should your ISP have better routes to CloudFlare’s datacenters that way.
Update: This change was reverted due to issues with our ban system, however our static content hosted at 4cdn.org is still accessible via IPv6 networks.
