Hi. This is my first post on Lemmy.

I want to test going IPv6-only in my home. I already enabled IPv6 functionality on my router. I can get two addresses from it on my computer: 192.168.0.x and 2402:xxxx (sorry, cannot remember the full address). My router shows two WAN IP: 100.64.x.x and 2402:xxxx.

If I disable IPv4 DHCP on my router, my computer shows only the IPv6 address, but many websites break. Is it not possible to go IPv6-only?

Sorry if I am not clear, I am not good in speaking English.

When the websites "break" what happens exactly? Cannot resolve the dns or something else?

I can access some websites only. Other like github.com Chrome will give me ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

GitHub is IPv4-only.
