Hey all,

 

Just wondering if anyone knows when iD will be getting IPv6? I’m considering switching to iD but I often have issues surrounding CGNAT, which I get around by using IPv6.

 

I’ve got an iD SIM at the moment for testing which does not support IPv6

 

Many thanks!

Hey there ​@Crystalyne, thank you for reaching out and for the question!

 

Unfortunately, we don’t have anything to announce regarding this at this current time.

 

We’re always looking for ways to improve, and who knows, this could be a way we look to do so in the future :D

 

But for now, we have no update to give regarding this I’m afraid, sorry about that!

 

Have a lovely day!

 

Thanks,

Tyler

I would like to add I would also like to see IPv6 support.

I self host services like Home Assistant which is a smart home system. There is a very nice mobile client for it that lets me control my home including things like my alarm system, smart locks and CCTV which I need access to from my phone when I’m not at home. Since newer home broadband providers can’t get the IPv4 address space they need they’re also now using CGNAT which means I’m unable to access my Home Assistant system from my phone without paying them extra for a static IPv4 IP. My home broadband provider already supports IPv6 so I can expose my Home Assistant system over IPv6 but that’s no use if I can’t access it over IPv6 from my phone. If ID Mobile can’t supply this then I’ll be switching to another network as soon as I’m able to find one that will.
