I was directly replying to someone saying they could subpoena the temporal owner of an IPv6 address, as though that were somehow different than IPv4.
The tracking is a moot point. You can be tracked using the same technologies whether you connect though v4 or v6, and neither stack has the advantage there.
IPv6 eliminates the possibility of proxies / VPNs. Being tracked simply by IP becomes non-optional.
This is factually wrong. I have a VPN between my VPC and my house so services can communicate securely without configuring each one separately with TLS.
Wat?
It, um. No, it doesn't do that. You can use proxies and VPNs in v6, and you're about as trackable by IP as you are on v4.
Name one VPN service that supports IPv6. Perhaps the most existential reason IPv6 was invented was to make proxies obsolete.
Either you use address translation or you don't.
