We are not running out of IPv4 space because NAT works. The price of IPv4 addresses has been dropping for the last year.
I know this because I just bought another /22 for exe.dev for the exact thing described in this blog post: to get our business customers another 1012 VMs.
Yep. As sad as it is for p2p, NAT handles most uses cases for users, and SNI routing (or creative hacks like OP) handles most use cases for providers.
I was surprised how low IPv4 prices have gotten. Lowest since at least 2019.
