DDoS protection for IPv6?

[MannDude]

Is this a thing? Are people offering this? Are there even DDoS attacks being sent via IPv6 anyway?

Just occurred to me that I utilize three different providers that each offer some affordable DDoS protection. Each provider also offers IPv6, but my filtered IPs are of course IPv4.

I don't use IPv6 for anything. Been meaning to, as a means for my servers to communicate with each other (because apparently every provider I've randomly chosen has IPv6 despite me not really looking for it as a feature). So it got me wondering about IPv6 and the vulnerability of DDoS if protection isn't available for it yet.

IPv6 DDoS attacks are rising in popularity but I am not currently aware of any service that offers DDoS protection or filtering with IPv6.

Yes, i've seen an ipv6 DDoS once. No protection for now though, not even RTBH

This is why I don't run IPv6, even if available.  I explicitly disable it.

Unsure why companies aren't addressing it as a service offering.

Black Lotus claim to offer IPv6 DDoS protection.

Black Lotus claim to offer IPv6 DDoS protection.

They can't even do IPv4 correctly so IPv6 must be ...

The IPv6 DDoS are rising now, also there is not much protection against it. I dont have a vps or the knowledge about it, but I think that you can affect windows vm's in a vps node with the IPv6 flood attack, so DoS are also possible, I guess.
