People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)
... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

You’re not an idiot. You’re using tools that don’t really do what they claim because it wasn’t considered an important use case.
IPv6 is great, but we haven’t seen enough pain yet to really drive adoption on the home LAN.
My solution uses the ISP box to deliver stateless auto conf, and bridging a consumer router. I can’t open ports but at least I get an IP.
Do you have an example? Because it works great on openwrt, dd-wrt, pfsense, opnsense, unifi, mikrotik....and then if you're using the isp equipment it works out of the box.
TP-link can’t open ports, neither can Linksys and it doesn’t support DHCP forward so literally was incompatible with my ISP implementation.
Open source works great. Can’t speak to unifi never seen it for sale here.
You’re using open source third party firmware and higher end networking gear as an example. Of course they work. Shitty consumer grade brands aren’t in the same class
You think an asus, linksys, netgear,etc doesnt handle ipv6???
tplink handles it badly ootb, youd need openwrt/ddwrt.
my isp's modem cant handle it well either.
i doubt older asus/linksys/etc devices handle it well either.
