Hi, excellent article! However I need some more advice. Can I connect using strictly IPv6 to this Azure VPN Server, and have beyond the VPN both IPv4 and IPv6 public addresses? The problem I would like to solve: My Internet provider moved me to a so-called DS-Lite (Dualstack-Lite) service. This means I have a permanent public IPv6 address but not an own public IPv4 address, when I visit IPv4 sites (most of the websites are still IPv4) all my traffic goes thru the provider’s NAT Server that apparently gets congested very often, so sometimes I get very poor IPv4 service (up to total packet losts). There is no problem with the IPv6 traffic at the same time. My plan is to connect to my VPN server via IPv6 (to avoid my provider’s NAT Server at all) and from there to have both IPv6 and IPv4 service.
Is it doable with Azure, and could you give me some clues for the configuration?
