How can I add support for IPv6 to and Azure application Gateway knowing that it does not support it


I am not a system administrator or network administrator thus I having hard time trying to figure it out a work around to support IPv6 on an Azure Service Fabric Cluster without using the Load Balancer.

From here: IPv6 support for Azure other than the load balancer thing

I have checked that IPv6 is only supported by that lb appliances but the entry point of my current cluster is an application gateway.

Is there a recommended work around for adding Ipv6 support for using a Azure App Gateway

    There is no nice way to do that, only work-arounds. Anyway, you can do the following:

    But this will not be very efficient because:

    1- this is your back-end server that will terminate and decrypt ssl connections;

    2- IPv6 packets from/to your servers in Azure will go through your tunnel broker and Azure, you will not have direct connections between the clients and Azure.

    To find a free IPv6 tunnel broker, see for instance Hurricane Electric.
