IPv6 support for PythonAnywhere?

As a business we took a decision, almost six years ago, that all our services should be over HTTPS and available over IPv6. We're now planning the roll out of something where a component lives on PA but we would currently need to plan an IPv6 proxy in front of it for IPv6 connectivity.

There is an old page where you state that PA is “using AWS as a hosting provider, and they don't support IPv6, that's a problem for us for now.https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/IPv6

It’s an old page because AWS has supported IPv6 for years now and has recently even announced they will start charging users that still need IPv4 addresses $0.005 per address per hour. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/

I understand that for PA it's not simply a question of flicking a switch. Is there, however, any update on introducing IPv6 support? Perhaps in a new machine image? It would greatly help us plan accordingly.

We currently have no plans to support ip6
