BIND IPv6 tip: you can enable DNS64 without matching any clients to make it synthesize the 64:ff9b::/96 reverse zone:

dns64 64:ff9b::/96 {
recursive-only yes;
clients { none; };
};

useful if you have a system that doesn't use DNS64 but you sometimes traceroute to NAT64 addresses for testing:

% traceroute6 -I 64:ff9b::96.47.72.84
traceroute6 to 64:ff9b::96.47.72.84 (64:ff9b::602f:4854) from fd13:480d:2ffa:5::e, 64 hops max, 20 byte packets

Seen in #IPv6 Matrix chat: https://ipv6catnow.org/

My memory is a little fuzzy as to whether this worked before, but I'm fairly sure this is a regression:

In order to make a voice call on Signal this evening I had to move my phone from the primary NAT64 network it lives on back to the legacy dual-stack network. When I Wireshark'd the traffic I saw STUN traffic hitting a Cloudflare IPv4 address.

Sorry, even without "AI", DDG is still a no-go for me.

#IPv6

Firefox message Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site. We can't connect to the server at noai.duckduckgo.com. If you entered the right address, you can: * Try again later * Check your network connection * Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall) [ Try Again ]

Today, I officially finished the #IPv6 introduction in my company. I closed the ticket which is now five years old. We replaced several (now) old products/technologies over time to have more flexibility and better scaling. The project was not top priority so it had slow but constant progress. I think this is the way for many other companies, too.

Hey @torproject, it would be really cool if one can filter for ports and bridge types on BridgeDB.

• It's basically impossible to get a webtunnel on IPv4 bridge.
  • There's no toggle to choose IPv4, only one to explicity choose IPv6, which doesn't work when stuck on an IPv4-only` CGNAT'd mobile network. (Damn EDGEland never changed!)
• There's no good way to check availability / reachability of Tor Bridges automatically.
  • Half of the meek bridges are down.
• ...

#BridgeDB #IPv4 #IPv6 #WebTunnel #obfs4 #meek #Snowflake #CGNAT #EDGEland #Tor #TorBridges #ITsec #InfoSec #OpSec #ComSec #IPv4only

At least in Germany that is the problem.

• They still do CGNAT in RFC1918 address space (10.0.0.0/8) and @BNetzA doesn't care at all.

@daniel

Mastodon.social und viele anderen haben outbound kein #IPv6 Support -> federation kaputt, kein Folgen/ Interakion möglich.

@mho

OMG, i thought things were supposed to get simpler as newer versions of software came out.

On the "Legacy" ISC #DHCP settings in #OPNSense, you could just type an IP address into the NTP text box.

In the "improved" version, which uses Kea DHCP instead, it will only accept "hex".

I assume this is just the #IPv6 address with no ":"s and loads of "0000"s (in my case), but some guidance would be helpful.... or just a fucking text box specifically for a IP address like the "legacy" version <sigh>.

Alt...

"Legacy" page, showing a sensible text box that accepts a simple IPv6 IP address

Alt...

The "newer" Kea DHCPv6 options, where you've got to somehow put the IPv6 address in hex

@tschaefer But it adheres to the RFCs and generates an #IPv6 address for the CLAT.
But I haven't found a way to see this on the host. I see it on the segment in the Neighbour table fine.

Want to help testing #CLAT on Linux and run #networkmanager?

Dear #Lazyweb,

Has anyone in the UK managed to get a working #IPv6 configuration with #PlusNet's FTTP broadband service? If so, please could you share a HOWTO?

RE: https://raphus.social/@MaddieM4/116647470097885752

I absent-mindedly clicked on the torrent link, which downloaded fine on my NAT64 system. I scp'd it over to my torrent box, which is #IPv6 only, and was somehow able to download the whole thing. But now I'm seeding to nowhere because the trackers are all legacy-only as well.

I realize Kiwix's thing is offline mirrors, but we still need to get IPv6 to the still-online parts. Anybody feel like reaching out to them to see what their blockers are?

Update on this. I got my video software set back up, and I'm currently downloading all 115GB of the February 2026 dump of Wikipedia. Why then? Because it's the most recent dump on Kiwix to actually include images (I could have gone more recent without them).

Anyways I probably won't have that video out today because it's predicted to take 20 hours to download by torrent. I would absolutely welcome some other folk sharing the load and improving torrent resiliency.

Can somebody who knows Terraform help me out here?

#IPv6

Tried to go to bed so of course my brain decides to come up with a new idea rather than fall asleep.

A website that generates a new random-ish image or 3D world or something unique based on a 128-bit seed value. Think UUID (isn't this how Minecraft works?), but instead it would use your #IPv6 client address. Hopefully the novelty would be sufficient to generate some buzz.

If you don't have IPv6, you simply could not reach the site. There would be a brief note in the About page noting that there have been reports the site is not reachable from some parts of the Internet and you should ask your ISP for assistance if this is the case. This way someone who saw it on, let's say, their mobile phone would wonder why it wasn't working on their home connection.

It would not mention IPv6 at all. Make the ISPs actually have to start troubleshooting this stuff from a genuinely confused consumer rather than blindly telling techies "We have no plans to deploy that."

A bonus could be to use a 256-bit seed, combining the server and client addresses, so there could be a bunch of these sites out there. Maybe turn it into a digital scavenger hunt. I've always thought there should be a sequel to SixSpotting :)

The artistry part is probably beyond my ken. Any digital artists out there picking up what I'm throwing down?

Watching the premier of the Python documentary ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4QL4VqJ0 ). Reminded how the Python 2 -> 3 transition has a lot of parallels to the IPv4 -> #IPv6 transition.

AWS Client VPN now supports connectivity to IPv6 resources

#aws #ipv6

One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound #ipv6 traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.
