Some back-of-the-napkin math for those worried that we might still exhaust #IPv6 if we're not careful:

We are currently numbering out of 2000:/3, but effectively it's been 2000::/4 so far. The smallest amount of space that can be announced in BGP is a /48.

4 bits off the top and 16 bits off the bottom leaves us with 2^28 individual /48 networks we _could_ issue (obviously we're issuing larger chunks where possible, eg: /32 for many ISPs). This is representable without having to go to engineering notation: 268,435,456.

Last night's bgp.tools dump shows 117,731 active ASNs. We could issue every org with an ASN a starter /48 and still have several orders of magnitude worth of room for growth. And that's even before we get to 3000::/4.

So, don't worry about filling up the pool. Grab what you need (and maybe a bit more) and build the network you've been dreaming of.

I bought a eSIM from Bouygues Telecom for travelers.

The default setting on Android for roaming (IPv4) was wrong. But after changing it to #IPv6 it works. Firewall settings seem a little bit strange (no ping, other ICMP packets are also blocked).

464xlat (clat) works.

My first SIM with 464xlat during roaming.

Ratestunde!

Wie / in welchem Format muss die #IPv6 localhost Adresse in die #gitlab config, damit sie passend ins yaml gerendert werden kann und danach auch von da passend in die weiteren configs gerendert werden kann?

(ganz konkret gehts um den config eintrag `nginx['real_ip_trusted_addresses']`)

Hint: `::1` ist's nicht.

Feature request #IPv6 (again)

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.

⚠️ Signups are currently deactivated!

We're now slightly below 1000 free VPS instances!

Within the last few weeks, coming with new locations around the world, we got more and more signups, where people can also test their setups across different geo locations @BoxyBSD.

Unfortunately, this also increases the required support which is really time consuming and only handled by @gyptazy. While everything is fully automated, support is another thing and I need a short break. Hope to open the signups quickly again.

PS: This project is completely free, not even any donation possibilities etc - just imagine a box would only cost 1$.

from my last boost:

"It's great that the EU is considering it's digital sovereignty, but I'd rather we had distributed rather than centralised resources. We need legislation to ensure that IPv4 is phased out and IPv6 support by our hosting and internet providers is mandatory. Because IP address scarcity is one of the things standing in the way for new hosting providers and digital innovation."

L’#Arcep publie son baromètre #IPv6 et note une forte évolution de l’activation de l’IPv6 depuis 2018. Les prévisions pour fin 2027 montrent que la transition approchera de la fin pour les opérateurs grand public. Néanmoins, une disparité importante persiste fin 2024 entre les opérateurs, mais également entre les technologies d’accès internet.

Hallo #fedipower!

Für meinen #Glasfaser-Anschluss denke ich über einen Wechsel von #Stiegeler zu #Leonet nach. Sind hier Leonet-Kunden anwesend?

Bei Stiegeler habe ich eine "echte" IPv4 (ohne CGNAT) und ein /54 IPv6-Präfix. Wie sieht das bei Leonet aus? Habe nichts dazu gefunden.

#FTTH #IPv4 #IPv6

I just stopped myself from legacy IP thinking.

I'm planning a new Wireguard link between a pair of servers and was about to use a small IPv6 subnet when I caught myself.

Thanks to our amazing home ISP, not only do we have fixed IPv6 and legacy IP addresses, but we have a massive /48 of IPv6 space available so for a home network, plus guest and iot WiFi, and a few lab vlans, we really do have a practically unlimited amount of address space available (65535 /64's, each with 18 quintillion addresses).

So, even though it's a point to point link, I can just allocate a /64 and pick a pair of addresses from that range. This isn't legacy IP anymore, stop thinking that way.

I could of course just use a pair of link local addresses and the traffic would (should...) still flow but if I use GUA's from my allocation instead, I'll get proper responses in traceroute if I need to troubleshoot.

I just went to update my hosts file with this script and that API endpoint is now locked behind required authorization. You can still download host files in the clear by hand, and they now include DNS entries, so maybe that will be good enough for dual-stack? Still not sure why a public view has to be behind auth now.

#HamRadio #IPv6 #M17project

I think I am the only #hamradio op on the planet who is using M17Gateway from MMDVM on an #IPv6 network. In the event I'm not, a heads up: M17HostsUpdate.sh in the repo downloads an M17Hosts.txt from dvref.com that contains only IPv4 addresses. If you want to connect to IPv6 enabled reflectors (24 of them at the time of this post), you'll need to write your own hosts file. Fear not, I've got you covered: https://git.home.nivex.net/nivex/M17Hosts

I have a server in my house that I use to self host random stuff. The thing is, I'm behind CGNAT and only ipv6 is publicly accessible, which shouldn't be a problem, except it's a huge problem. I ran into trouble with fmd and my friends on different ISPs couldn't reach to my server.

I hate cgnat...

Irgendwer von der Uni HH anwesend?

Ich gehe gerade durch meine #IPv6 Folien und hab da noch das Zitat "Wir fangen in 14 Jahren damit an, da geht der Kollege in Rente" drin. Die 14 Jahre seit dem Vortrag sind locker vorbei. Gibt es IPv6?

Und wo ich dabei bin: Sagt Ubisoft immer noch, man soll #IPv6 abschalten?

Not really sure what to use for search now. DDG doesn't support IPv6 as I discovered last week while working on an #IPv6 only network. Neither does #Mojeek (and their language support is limited to ascii-only languages - even entering "français" it will ask "did you mean francais?" (same for umlauts) and Russian and Ukrainian aren't indexed at all).

Google and Bing are the only ones I know with IPv6 support.

We seem to be getting driven off the web, folks.

Some of you might know it already, some of you have heard it and well, I cannot hide it anymore: I've become a father. My son Leonhard was born in October last year and my life has been 720 degree rotated multiple times since then.

This means a lot of changes and is also the reason why I stepped down as a working group co-chair from the RIPE #IPv6 working group.

So there it is - I am officially old.

Say I have a table defined in pf.conf that includes both ip4 and ip6 addresses. When I create my rdr or pass rules that reference this table, do I need to create two entries, one for inet and another for inet6?

FreeBSD 14.3 got a greatly improved support for Intel WiFi hardware (iwlwifi driver).

Finally, the AX210 (802.11ac) wifi card in my ThinkPad T480 works perfectly fine without having to rely on the wifibox workarround anymore.

IPv4 works perfectly fine
IPv6 work perfectly fine

Also the WiFi configuration is rather easy:

In /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country DE"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"

#IPv6

I spent some time earlier in the week with my laptop running on #IPv6 only while running some tests.

Very interesting to note which websites are still reachable.

✅ chaos.social
✅ codeberg.org
❌ sr.ht
✅ gitlab.org
❌ github.com
✅ debian.org
❌ abc.net.au
✅ bbc.co.uk

I was surprised that #SourceHut failed, as IPv6 support was added a while back, so I did some digging (literally - I used dig).

sr.ht is missing IPv6 glue records. Important, but easy to overlook if you run your own nameservers.

More Countries Join the Majority #IPv6 Club

https://pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/more-countries-join-the-majority-ipv6-club

Out of curiosity: are IPv6 addresses some kind of wild west, unclaimed territory?

When trying to look up who owns some of them that I see in my server logs, I frequently run into "the big void" it seems.

For example: 2200:2242:2064:246::42:6

ipinfo.io says... no ASN, no hostname, no nuffin' available.

Similarly, IP Netblocks says it's part of the range :: - ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff (no shit!😂) and that's all.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

ISP IPv6 Support Database

There is now a simple online database of service providers, listing whether IPv6 is supported (by default or optionally) and if so - cataloguing various metrics such as prefix delegation size etc.

Useful for selecting a temporary simcard when travelling, or when selecting a new ISP etc.

Currently the database is small, but soliciting additional information/feedback.

There has been quite a bit of buzz lately about Linux distros wanting to drop 32-bit support.

I would also like to drop 32-bit support. 32-bit IPv4 addresses that is.
