    Hello All,

    (Semi)public Wifi netwrols in this part of the world are still IPv4 only with very few exceptions. I am talking about WiFi networks in shops, hotels, campings etc. Over the past two years I have only come across two that offer IPv6. These are camping Boszicht in Laag Soeren NL and the HF Witte Centre in de Bilt, NL. In the latter the WiFi is maintained by HCC, the largest Dutch Computer Club, so no mystery.

    How is this in other parts of the world? Are they nearly all IPv4 only or has IPv6 found its way into (semi) public WiFi networks there?

    Normally I dont use public wifis anymore. I have unlimited 5G data in my phone in Finland, Skandinavia and the baltics as well as enough quota in the EU.

    But as I am currently in Kemij„rvi Camping, I connected to the wifi here, and I got only ipv4 adress.

    Tommi
