Three years after World IPv6 Day

What's this blog post about?

On June 5, 2014, Martin J Levy discussed the progress made in IPv6 content delivery since the Internet Society's World IPv6 Day. He highlighted that CloudFlare has been actively providing IPv6 access to all its customers and has recently made it the default setting for new accounts. Around 7% of the top one million websites are accessible using IPv6, with 20% of them being CloudFlare customers. However, some complex sites have faced issues enabling IPv6 due to logfile problems caused by hardcoding IPv4 addresses in their codebase. To address this issue, CloudFlare introduced a pseudo IPv4 address that can be mapped from the real IPv6 address. The company aims to encourage more users to enable IPv6 fully and embrace the new Internet.
