I just wish the wireguard folks did IP6v2 :) Kidding (kind of)!

Kidding (kind of)!
- jabl 6y agoI recall skimming some recent(-ish) IPv6 overview RFC which was an update to an older RFC, ("IPv6 architecture", or something like that, maybe?) and IPSec has been demoted from necessary to optional. So it's not entirely impossible IPSec will eventually fade into obscurity.
- MayeulC 6y agoI quite like Yggdrasil's [1] approach, and there are other alternatives. Of course, it doesn't fix everything, but with many project working on different aspects of networking, we might get back to an "internet" that's closer to a mesh between non-interoperable networks (GNU net, cjdns, private VPN-backed LANs, zigbee, etc). Because, on your local network, you can run whatever you want (but it better be ipv6-aware software using DNS, it's easier to fool like NAT64 or yggdrasil do).

- thoraway1010 6y agoThanks for this - I'm not an expert at all in the networking space side of things, but even dabbling with ipsec / ipv6 combos made my head spin coming from an ipv4 background. Basically I was left with the idea - how in the world is the gigantic set of interlocking RFCs (at least to me IPv6 seems to involve a lot of complex stuff) the best way to network these days.
