On large instances, it is recommended to set this option to `false`` in order to reduce the amount of data written to the database, and hence improve the overall performance of the instance.

Note: `proxy_buffering on` [may increase the disk usage](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffering), if this is not what you want you can remove the two lines `proxy_buffering` and `proxy_buffers`.

The alternative, if you do not want to switch provider, is to use an IPv6 tunnelbroker, it allows to get IPv6 connectivity using another server.
