@SebasTEAan @alyx givn that my current ISP has enormous lag spikes even on #IPv4 even if I ere to use a #GIFtunnel to FRA, that would increase latency and would add #geoblocking woes as well as more instability to it.

  • And I certainly see no reason to cough up the cost of @ripencc membership & getting a PI address space when I think it should be the responsibility of @BNetzA to mandate #DualStack connectivity with #LowLatency!

@pmevzek @landley I wish I had this luxury.

  • Cuz I often have to deal with fucked-up networks that are #IPv4only and sometimes going #DualStack is flatout not being allowed and even having #IPv6 at the public-facing side is seen as a problem.

And I'm more often than not not the guy who gets to make that decision.

  • I was only able to get IPv6 allowed WAN-side at one place after my employer encountered the problem that some workers have shitty #CGNAT that bricks #OpenVPN so they could not #VPN to the HQ.

@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea yeah, the exhaustion problem would've been shoved back with a #64bit or sufficiently delayed by a 40bit number.

Unless we also hate #NAT and expect every device to have a unique static #IP (which is a #privacy nightmare at best that "#PrivacyExtensions" barely fixed.)

  • I mean they could've also gone the #DECnet approach and use the #EUI48 / #MAC-Address (or #EUI64) as static addressing system, but that would've made #vendors and not #ISPs the powerful forces of allocation. (Similar to how technically the #ICCID dictates #GSM / #4G / #5G access and not the #IMEI unless places like Australia ban imported devices.

I guess using a #128bit address space was inspired by #ZFS doing the same before, as the folks who designed both wanted to design a solution that clearly will outlive them (way harder than COBOL has outlived Grace Hopper)...

If I was @BNetzA I would've mandated #DualStack and banned #CGNAT (or at least the use of CGNAT in #RFC1918 address spaces) as well as #DualStackLite!

Anyone know why opening #IPv6 ports on #GoogleWifi might be failing for me? I have IPv6 service from my ISP (sonic.net - they're awesome!) and have a web server set up on my #RaspberryPi.

Requests from outside my network sent to the pi's IPv6 GUA keep failing, even though I have ports 80 and 443 open for the pi in the "Port Management" section of the google home app. Requests made to that same IPv6 GUA work fine within my network.

(I also have IPv4 port forwarding set up on that same page, and that seems to work fine to forward requests made to my router's external IPv4 address to the pi, so I could simply not set up an AAAA record and move forward with only IPv4 access to my server, but I'd prefer having a working dual-stack setup!)

@tschaefer fängt damit an dass bis heute nicht alle #IPv6 haben oder bekommen können...

  • Bspw.: Verweigert mein #ISP die Bereitstellung von echtem #DualStack. (Deshalb kann ich diesen Post auch nicht direkt aufrufen!)

Umgekehrt sind bis heute nicht alle #Diensteanbieter & Services von #IPv4 auf #IPv6 migriert worden.

Sorgt zwar für Henne-Ei-Problem, wäre aber durch die @BNetzA lösbar indem diese zwangsweise je IPv4 mindestens ein /64 an IPv6 vorschreibt und Bullshit wie #CGNAT [insbesondere mit #RFC1918-Addressraum] verbietet!

  • Besonders Bullshit wie #DualStackLite ist murks: Entweder korrekt Dual-Stack oder lasst es sein!!!
ipv6.socialThomas Schäfer (@tschaefer@ipv6.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space Du hast die Behauptung aufgestellt, dass IPv6 only vieles bricken würde. Also was?
