  1. There are public ip4 to ip6 gateways by dak664 · · Score: 1 · on Home Server On IPv6-only Internet Connection?

    E.g. adding ip4.sixxs.org to the ipv6 address, http://ipv6.google.com.ipv4.sixxs.org/

    Don't know if any allow numerical addresses. Is the ISP providing DNS service for adding your own AAAA records to your routed subnet?

  2. Re:I wonder if they have IPV6 support by SirDice · · Score: 4, Informative · on Hundreds of IP Addresses Make Pirate Bay a Hard Target

    http://thepiratebay.se.ipv6.sixxs.org/ Not blocked via DNS nor via IPv6. None of the injuctions seem to cover IPv6. I'm actually wondering if BREIN knows IPv6 exists.

    3. With a few exceptions, modern, supported OSes (Windows [2003, 2008, Vista, 7], GNU/Linux, all of the BSDs, OS X) support IPv6 perfectly.

    Sadly, OSX does not. There is no support for NFS or SMB over IPv6. More importantly though, DNS is completely broken for hosts which have both v4 and v6 addresses, so you won't get far if you turn off v4.

    Another critically missing piece is home routers. Also, /. regrettably, but you could use http://slashdot.org.sixxs.org/ in the mean time.

    ISPs aren't supporting it.

    Like for instance Comcast! That huge nation wide cable modem ISP! How dare they not support IPv6!

    If you really want to see what Google's IPv6 page looks like, you can use SixXs's IPv6 to IPv4 looking glass: http://ipv6.google.com.ipv4.sixxs.org/

  6. I was there by Zarhan · · Score: 5, Informative · on The Night the IETF Shut Off IPv4

    And really, only problems I saw were the fact that it's pain in the ass to get automatic DHCPv6 working. The idea is that IPv6 stateless autoconfig (router advertisement) has a bit that tells the client if they should get ALL config via DHCP or just additional (like DNS addresses). However, no easy way to make Linux kernel execute DHCPv6 client based on the received stateless autoconfig bit.

    Anyway, after statically configuring DNS servers, things were very smooth. Google et al worked, I could access entire IPv4 web via sixxs.org (just go http://slashdot.org.sixxs.org/ to access Slashdot via IPv6), I could SSH to my home servers...only things that seemed a bit odd were failing reverse DNSes on some hops when running traceroute. Jabber worked, IRC worked.

    Great experience and experiment.
