"carve out some IPv6 space from my Linode and tunnel it to my home network."
I'm planning on doing exactly this using openvpn as my transport (because I already have an extensive ipv4 openvpn system). Has anyone tried it? I'm not interested so much in how to do it, which I think I know, but in anecdotes along the lines of "it makes openvpn crash" or "linode told me I was being abusive and cut me off" or whatever.
I've had ipv6 for decades I guess. I even got one of the Hurricane Electric "sage" tee shirts last decade. But when sixxs goes down I lose ipv6 connectivity for the first time since the DSL days at the turn of the century.
- apostacy 10y agoI tunnel all of my traffic through my Linode. I had to disable ipv6, because I was getting constant captcha checks from facebook, cloudflare, and google. No matter how many different ipv6 addresses I tried, traffic is always marked as suspicious. As soon as I disabled ipv6, everything went smoothly.
- kiallmacinnes 10y agoThis sounds like CloudFlare etc have just blacklisted hosting provider IPv6 blocks, as there a real easy way to get millions of "clean" IPs priced by the hour. CloudFlare etc certainly dont do this with SiXXS IPv6 addresses, or any traditional residential provider I'm aware of.
- apostacy 10y agoWell, I'd love to use ipv6. In fact, I can't wait. But, what am I supposed to do? * T-mobile: ipv4 * Office: ipv4 * Verizon: ipv4 * University: ipv4 * Linode: ipv6 (but flagged as hostile) Google will not just show me captchas, but will deactivate accounts if I use some of their apis. I had to reverify several accounts when I've tried using ipv6. I'm not being backward about ipv4, I'm really not. But we're in denial about the fact that we still live in an ipv4 world. And I don't like seeing the last vestiges of non-profit ipv4 address space being liquidated.
- virtuallynathan 10y agoT-Mobile stopped handing out IPv4 addresses to handsets on iOS 10 -- IPv6 Only.
- crisopolis 10y agoYeah, T-Mo is IPv6 on smartphones such as Android/iPhone.
- apostacy 10y agoI route all of my mobile traffic through an older Android device that only connects to their 3G network. Maybe that's why...
