## The new Internet
Some of you already can guess where this article is going to and you
are right: IPv6. While there have been many articles written about
IPv6, I think it is important to remember that the old IPv4 does not
work like an **Internet** anymore. IPv6 with its huge amount of
addresses fixes this problem for many human lifes ahead.
**IPv6 restores direct connectivity**.
If you think you don't need to care about IPv6 and you are fine with
the current status, think about it this way: the Internet usage is
growing. Without IPv6, the Internet is becoming slower every
day. Without IPv6 you get more depending on a small amount of big
companies. And this dependency is getting more and more difficult to
reverse in the future.
## Switching to IPv6 today
The good news is: you can switch to using IPv6 today. You can request
IPv6 from your current ISP and if your ISP does not support IPv6,
you can change your ISP. Even if there is no ISP with IPv6 around, you
can get IPv6 via anywhere using the
[VIIRB](/u/products/viirb-ipv6-box/) using the
[IPv6VPN](/u/products/ipv6-vpn/).
Besides making the Internet faster, more reliable and less complex
with IPv6, there is one more reason to switch: IPv6 is fun!
