If you ever need a quick hack to get v4 connectivity over a true v6 only setup, you can use a public DNS64+NAT64 Gateway. You can find a list at https://nat64.net/public-providers. So for most regular use, all you are doing is changing DNS servers.

This is the combo.

** 1. DNS64

Synthesis of AAAA DNS records for things that don't have them to a NAT64 box.

$ dig +short @2a00:1098:2c::1 AAAA github.com

2a01:4f8:c2c:123f:64:5:141a:9cd7

** 2. NAT64.

Will take this traffic thats been sent to it because of DNS64 and protocol translate + NAT it for you.

$ curl --resolve github.com:443:[2a01:4f8:c2c:123f:64:5:141a:9cd7] https://github.com/

Came here to say this. Over Europe, https://nat64.net/ directly, at least, is pretty cool. Only had good experiences with them.
