My ISP is having issues with IPv4 via DS-Lite, so I often cannot connect to IPv4-only servers and it's frustrating how few servers are using IPv6 yet.
twitter, heroku, amazon, github, HN, they all don't have IPv6. Is there a reason for the lack of IPv6 support? It shouldn't be that hard to get a v6 address and add an AAAA record.
- taf2 12y agoi've found it much harder to block unwanted IPv6 traffic compared to IPv4... but part of that is just the addresses are so much longer... and I need to get better at iptables
- simoncion 12y agoIt might help if you built your IPv6 firewall rules to deal with networks, rather than individual IPs.[0] [0] Hell, with the horrorshow that is IPv6 "Privacy" addresses, it's all but impossible to recognise a particular host.
- rectang 12y ago> Is there a reason for the lack of IPv6 support? Yeah -- the failure to design IPv6 as a compatible extension of IPv4 in order to ease migration. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html
- unsignedint 12y agoMy ISP (Comcast) support IPv6, but I had to turn it off because the router doesn't work with it.[1] [1] http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/Netgear-R6300-TG862-Bridge-IPv6-is-unstable/m-p/1966373/highlight/true#M62643 http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/Net...
