They could buy a dedicated IPv4 address, but that address still has to be tunneled through [EDIT:] IPv6 networks if that dev has no access to [EDIT:] IPv4 networks. Thus DX still suffers. [ADDENDUM: I mistakenly swapped "IPv4" and "IPv6" there. See comments.]

I'm not sure I understand your point; if exe.dev operates a dedicated IP solely so a specific mythical IPv6-less developer can connect to a specific server, then there's no tunnelling involved at all.

  • Oops, I think I mixed up two sentences in the middle. A fixed comment is available. But I also probably misinterpreted what you were saying:

    > they could pay a small extra for a dedicated IPv4 address.

    Did you mean that the dedicated IPv4 address to connect via SSH? Then my objection doesn't apply.
