Does your ISP support IPv6?

Does your ISP support IPv6?

Boosts welcome.

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore 6rd only and terms say "no"

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@littlefox You mean they don't support it officially, but can give you 6rd if you ask?

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore they don't officially support it but 6rd is somehow just available

I just wish it was proper dualstack, but the nordics generally seem to be way behind on IPv6 x.x

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore (telia btw)

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@littlefox Interesting. Where I am in the US I get dual stack IPv6 with cable, and the fiber ISP. My parents have also supported.

There's a smaller fiber ISP a relative has that does IPv4 with CGNAT, but doesn't seem to support IPv6. I'll have to look at 6rd.

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore in Germany I had proper dualstack too, for many years on different ISPs - was quite shocked that the Nordics are so behind, specifically Finland for me now

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@littlefox Don't the nordics tend to have fast last mile connections too? As in, you can get like 10 Gbit if you want?

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore in this apartment we only get symmetric gigabit, but some places have 10G, yea

[littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network]

@toroidalcore just Ethernet coming to the utility panel, plug in and DHCP to get your address (and 6rd details)

oh and up to 5 public IPv4 addresses per customer apparently x)

@toroidalcore My modem was damaged by lightning and my ISP replaced it. With the new modem, I got IPv6 connectivity. However I couldn't make connections from outside, adding IPv4 port forwards or IPv6 firewall exceptions to the modem config didn't do anything.

A week later, IPv6 connectivity disappeared. And now IPv4 port forwarding works.

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@littlefox I definitely envy that, especially the extra public IPS, although I don't know what I do with more than gigabit.

I have an order in with a fiber ISP that's finally building out to my area, planning on getting the 500 mb symmetrical package. No public IPv4, but at least they give out a /60 prefix for IPv6. Right now with cable I have gigabit down and 40 mb up, a /60, and one public IPv4.

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@BestGirlGrace What's your setup, are you tunneling it from somewhere?

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@nicolas17 Sounds like it might have been a misconfiguration or something. Like maybe they gave out a new modem, but didn't update the config it's supposed to retrieve.

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@BestGirlGrace So you have a whole AS going? That's badass.

[maurice@pompat.us]

@toroidalcore it would have been interesting to have an “I don’t know” answer perhaps.

[raineer@frontrange.co]

@toroidalcore naming and shaming. CenturyLink does not.

[brennan@social.lol]

@toroidalcore yes! they are very confusing to me

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@BestGirlGrace I'd like to give it a try someday, but too many other projects at the moment.

[toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town]

@maurice Fair enough. In making the pole I was thinking of people who'd checked if they'd had it or not.
