So I have an app that connects to my server through domain name.

My server only has an IPv4 IP.

What is the possible solution to handle IPv6 connections ?

Once IPv6 connection accesses the domain it will not point them to my server because the dns will only resolve IPv4.

IPv4 => access myserver.com => domain IPv4

IPv6 => access myserver.com => ? (since my server doesn't have IPv6) => dns error ?

And what about my app ?

is it going to be rejected ?

does internet providers does that for us ?

Btw I'm based in Japan and the server is also in Japan.

I think I'm not the only one with this problem.

This explains it:

Basically, you just access it by domain name, and the carrier's DNS64/NAT64 will transparently give an IPv6 address that can be used to access your site's IPv4 address.
