  • Serving IPV6 from a remote host

    From Nigel Reed@1:124/5016 to Fidonet.IPV6 on Tue Jan 7 01:10:44 2025
    Hi all,

    Just putting some thoughts down and maybe it'll help with a situation.

    At home, I was using HE Tunnelbroker to connect my OpenWRT router to
    the ipv6 network. This worked well, it served ipv6 addresses to my
    systems, however Google blocks a lot of Tunnelbroker traffic, as do
    other sites, which makes it unreliable.

    The idea is to use something like Wireguard to create an ipv4 tunnel
    between OpenWRT and the VPS and use either part of the /64 subnet or a
    fd77:: network.

    Obviously, the OpenWRT router would have to give out ipv6 addresses.
    Any suggestions with this? Anyone tried similar or have a better method?

    The issue with doing anything with a prefix larger then /64 is that you
    lose SLAAC, so forget about auto-configuration of devices, so think
    carefully.

    I'd suggest asking your ISP, but I'm guessing if you're not using native
    IPv6 it maybe because your ISP is one of those...

    I'm unsure about IPv6 providers, like to rent a /48 /52 /56 even a /60
    (o Lord, what would I give for native /60) I guess a search for that on
    you region on Google would yield something.
