IPv6
After reading Planet Debian for the first time in months, I found a great article about IPv6. I was interested in that for a while now, but never took the time to do anything with it. My provider isn’t doing anything with IPv6, so I was under the impression that I could not do anything with it. Now I know I was wrong about that.
Basically I went to SixXs and requested a tunnel. This tunnel wraps all your ipv6 packets in normal ipv4 packets and sends it to the other end of the tunnel where it gets unwrapped and thrown over the internet as usual. The SixXs site provides software for a lot of distro’s which makes that tunnel so you do not have to make any difficult settings or what ever. It is a breeze with that software. The openSUSE package is pretty good, but the init.rd start part failed for me, but that was a detail.
After that I was able to enjoy browsing based on ipv6, for the sites that support it (ipv6.google.com seems faster to me than the normal site, but that’s probably my mind wanting that to be the case). There is also a free IPv6 news server for everyone. My irc-connections are also ipv6 based now. There is a Cool IPv6 Stuff-page, that kept me busy for a few hours.
In short: IPv6 is available for you too. It is the future, so get it now so you can tell your children that you already had IPv6 in 2008 (by then, they will not know it already existed 10 years or so).
Thanks for the comment. That’s what I want to do as well, get all my computers in here on a IPv6 subnet, I just need to wait a week for the needed points at Sixx.
Do those clients in the subnet still need a IPv4 address at all?
Well your clients in the Network still need IPv4 if they should be able ro reach IPv4 hosts.
You could work around that with using some proxy or something like that. But I do not the use of that.
At the moment IPv6 is more or less something to play around and learn with. Sure there are IPv6 Websites and most Linux distros have IPv6 enabled mirrors.
BTW: I still do not get my Nokia E61i connected to my IPv6 Network. It should support IPv6 and there are some settings about it in it. But it didn’t work. Does someone know how to do it?

Yeah, I am using an Sixx IPv6 Tunnel+Subnet for a while now.
Using an Openwrt router which acts as tunneln endpoint. So my local LAN can use IPv6 as it where native. My clients in the Networks do not know anything about the tunnel. They are getting global usable IPv6 adresses from the IPv6 adressroom the router announces to my local network.
BTW, you may checkout my blog (in url field) it is avaible over IPv6 (native no tunnel :-)) and if you need an IPv6 enabled mailserver try sending me mail. :-)

Wait for ipv6porn.com, the coolest IPv6 stuff ever ;-) There will be over 100 GB of the most popular “adult entertainment” videos for free (really free… completely legal and without ads, etc.). The idea is that porn is the “killer app” that helped spread Internet, so let’s try it with IPv6.
