What do I need to do to stop paying for IPv4 from a cloud server in Selectel?

After Selectel announced that IPv4 would be chargeable and it took effect, I waited a month and decided to drop IPv4 and reconfigure the server to IPv6 . But then I didn’t understand or did something wrong, but in general, after I configured the server’s network infrastructure to IPv6, I lost access to my sites from my network, which at that time did not support this protocol. And everything had to be rolled back.

Now I understand that I overpay twice for the server just because I have to pay for IPv4.
The question arose in my head:
- Is it possible to somehow contrive and make it so that the server has IPv6, but clients who have a network or the like. does not support this protocol could access my resources?

The server is running Debian.

UPD (12:56):
Well, or advise cloud hosting with a price per month of 100 rubles / month.

Well, there are 3 options right away:
1. Use CloudFlare as IPv6 → IPv4 transit. See this article for more details.
2. Use Low-end VPS for $15 per year (available at lowendbox.com/ ) with reverse proxy
3. Use public reverse proxies like sixxs. ipv6.google.com.ipv4.sixxs.org/

ipv4 and ipv6 are completely different networking stacks. Of course, there is packet translation between two stacks within the same machine, but without an ipv6 address, you cannot access ipv6 resources (the closest, although not entirely correct, analogy is .onion). You can do it - you need another server that has both ipv4 and ipv6. On it, you can already configure proxying through nginx (or any other of the billions of ways, even through a VPN). That's where to find such a server - another question) Most likely, your friends have a piece of iron in hetzner;)

you can't do it the other way around easily.
use shared hosting and don't worry.

I can recommend Digitalocean.
not 100 rubles, of course, but 5 dollars, but this is not a shared, but a KVM-based VPS, with the characteristics of 20GB SSD and 512 RAM.
