Home network - possible to go IPv6-only? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Going IPv6-only with what you use the internet for daily will break things.

For time being the recommended approach is a dual-stack setup with NAT64 + DNS64 in the mix.

NAT64 you'll need Jool on Linux and DNS64 you can just easily use Google or Cloudflare's public DNS64 servers or run your own.
