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/

I gave it the old college try about 6 months ago. Found out how to send the req for a subnet to my ISP. Configured my opnsense. When it worked, it worked. But it would randomly stop routing regularly. After a lot of troubleshooting determined it was the isp and have up.

Maybe I'll try again in another 6 months.

This is remarkably common. A major factor is how to handle renewals. There appears to either be bugs with the procedure or there's disagreement on how it should be handled. So it will work, for a while, until a renewal needs to happen, then everything goes to shit.

I've directly witnessed this in router/firewall logs. That there's an attempt to renew the DHCP-PD, which does not get a valid reply.
