In general, I like netcup. The FediMeteo VPS rocks and they're quite reliable but....their IPv6 implementation is such a mess! Hetzner allows you to route, so each vnet jail can have its own IPv6 address. On netcup, I have never been able to achieve such a result.

Kann einer dem Dobrindt mal sagen, dass er bei der Vorratsdatenspeicherung nur die #IPv6 Adressen speichern muss, weil sich die Kriminellen damit sicher fühlen. Ich wäre da z.B raus. IPv4

When an ISP offers #IPv6 without a stable prefix for each customer, all IPv6 addresses would become invalid whenever the WAN reconnects due to sudden prefix changes. As a workaround, RFC 9096 requires routers to detect Flash Renumbering and invalidate stale prefixes - still largely unimplemented (WIP in OpenWrt). As a fail-safe, RFC 9096 also requires preferred/valid address timeouts of 45/90 minutes to prevent indefinite IPv6 outage - up to 7/30 days per RFC 4861 defaults.

Here's how to implement it in #OpenWrt - trickier than you thought:

1. Upgrade to 24.10.2 - because earlier versions had a bug, you couldn't override the "preferred" timeout obtained from the WAN.
2. Set DHCPv4's lifetime to 90 minutes (option leasetime, in Interfaces -> LAN -> DHCP Server -> Lease time) - because there's currently no way to change IPv6's "valid" address timeout without changing DHCPv4's timeout - I checked the source code. Bug report submitted.
3. Set IPv6's preferred timeout to 45 minutes (option preferred_lifetime, in Interfaces -> LAN -> DHCP Server -> IPv6 Setting -> IPv6 Prefix Lifetime).

This is how I spent my entire night on adjusting two timers. ​​

Significant progress on the current protocol, on this release (still in RC, as of this moment).

You may not notice, but to improve server security, we’ve decided to disable IPv6. Since our provider, OVHCloud, doesn’t offer DDoS protection or edge firewall for IPv6, we made this decision to ensure a better and more stable service.

Looks like Slovak Telekom (AS6855) is starting to deploy IPv6.

It is either #Framework , #Apple, #Microsoft or #Google

Hello to our friends in Singapore !

We’re happy to announce that we just opened up a new POP in Sin1, SG to come even closer to you! What does it mean?! IP-Space in Singapore including GEO objects & lower latencies in your area

Thanks to Route64 and @gyptazy !

Pleasantly surprised to see that "GNOME Connections" 48 works reasonably well for RDP nowadays, over LAN (or via direct IPv6 over WAN if you hack your /etc/hosts file).

The only security feature truly missing for me to see it as a viable alternative to Remmina for my usecases would be support for RDP over SSH tunnels: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-connections/-/issues/70

Here's the naughty workaround for IPv6 using /etc/hosts : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-connections/-/issues/72#note_1800600

Finland tends to be a bit different. This includes @UpCloud. If you slap #OpenBSD on a VM: IPv4 and IPv6 are two different NICs. Works great if you are aware of this - if they ever get a wiki I pinky swear I'll write it down on some relevant page.

Adding a poll because it is all the rage in Helsinki.

I really want to create my own simple router with FreeBSD for NIDS use. However, that's a future wish that I want to do later. My current target is to create a simulation with multiple jails that act as clients and routers. With IPv6 addressing, I want to connect them and pass the traffic between different networks. My current problem is how to do packet forwarding(?) like a normal router does. But I want to do it FreeBSD style. Any hints or help are appreciated

My current knowledge: I am familiar with basic jail, the epair mechanism, and a small bit of pf configurations.
