   The anti virus industry needs to crack down on crawler and proxy malware, plus ISPs FINALLY need to replace CGNATs with iov6 to stop crawlers banning everyone behind a NAT.

      How exactly does IPv6 "stop crawlers".

      If anything, it will make it harder to block due to the vastness of the IPv6 address space.

         CGNAT makes all ISP users appear to come from one v4 address, so blocking by v4 address becomes unworkable.

      the root of the root of all evil: NAT

      Anti-virus, maybe, the ISP definitively needs to step up and just shut off people internet when large amounts of bot traffic is detected. IPv6 is going to do nothing, because right now you're getting scrapped/attacked/DDoS/whatever with a single request from millions of IPs at once.
