Free Static IPv6 in India vs a Dedicated Plan — Broker Reality Check
Free or cheap IPv6 offers are not dual-stack IPv4. Most Indian broker whitelist fields still want IPv4. When a dedicated ₹99 IPv6 plan is enough — and when it is not.
What “free IPv6” usually means
Some Indian providers advertise free or near-free IPv6. Read the fine print: it may be shared, lightly provisioned, or IPv6-only. Algo-IP’s ₹99 plan is a dedicated IPv6 — one address, not dual-stack IPv4, not free.
Broker forms
Zerodha, Angel One, Dhan, Fyers and Upstox commonly show an IPv4 whitelist. We mark IPv6 as “confirm in portal” on every /brokers/:slug page because the field changes. If it rejects an IPv6 literal, pay for IPv4 (₹200/month).
When dedicated IPv6 is enough
- You have pasted an IPv6 into that broker’s live form and it saved.
- Your bot and the proxy path actually egress IPv6 to that API (many stacks still speak IPv4).
- You accept that the ₹99 plan does not include an IPv4.
