• My ipv6

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Thu May 28 12:04:24 2026

    Hello everybody!

    I am not sure what is going on. I have changed it back to port forwarding but that seemed to fail as well. I logged into a remote pc and telneted to 24554 and it always connects. There is currently no way to replace the modem due to the method used for connection

    Hi Sean,

    From about the time you wrote this, all outbound IPv6 connects are still failing, but all outbound IPv4 connects area successful:

    Maybe your IPv6 changed?


    Interface Identifier (The Device Portion):

    The last 64 bits (0acb:a059:6e85:1ded) identify the specific interface.

    Randomized/Privacy-Focused: Looking at the interface ID, it does not follow the older EUI-64 format (which embeds a device's physical MAC address into the IP using ff:fe). Instead, it is either statically assigned by the server administrator or generated randomly using privacy extensions (like RFC 4941 or RFC 7217). This is standard practice for modern operating systems and security-focused networks to prevent device tracking.


    Bye, Wilfred.

    I'm able to connect to IPv4 now (I couldn't before), but you're right, IPv6 is not working from here:

    $ nc -w5 -zv4 binkd.rima.ie 24554
    Connection to binkd.rima.ie (51.182.63.136) 24554 port [tcp/binkp] succeeded!

    The fidonet machine is one of the few Pi I have that uses an ethernet connection and I just checked and it is the same. I will get onto the help on Tuesday

    I connected to a remote pi and have saved those :) Anyway I have a feeling that the ISP is not pushing the port forward or port triggering to ipv6 so will speak to them Tuesday, monday is a holiday
