Our internet finally works!!!

However my fears have come true, as I don't have an ipv4 address of my own, just ipv6.

I really want my Webserver to be at home instead of having to rent some vserver.

Does anyone have any experience with webhosting when you only have ipv6?

I'm honestly kinda thinking about switching contract over to one that works with DSL. It'll be the same price for half the speed, but I should be able to get my precious ipv4 with it, and I also already have the router for it so it wouldn't really cost anything extra

IPv6 and router-advertised DNS

For posterity.

If you are using systemd-networkd, and you want to really, truly, forever and always not use router-advertised DNS over IPv6, you have to turn it off in two places in your /etc/systemd/network/*.network files:

Under the [DHCPv6] section, set UseDNS=no

Under the [IPv6AcceptRA] section, set UseDNS=no

And optionally, if you want to turn it off for IPv4, under the [DHCPv4] section, set UseDNS=no.

This should help someone, somewhere out there. I just spent the past hour and a half trying to get this shit working.

PODCAST: MODEM.show, DHCP option 108

Over the last year there has been a slow hum, quietly building around the notion of building what has been called an “IPv6-mostly” network. What does this term mean? How do we do it? Why bother? Well, let me attempt to answer those questions. First, what is IPv6-mostly? Thankfully, it is pretty much what it sounds like – a network segment (i.e. a LAN segment) that is mostly IPv6, and only legacy…

To optimize performance and ensure smooth transition to IPv6, it is important to understand how its packet header differs from IPv4 in structure and design

Here is an overview comparing IPv4 and IPv6 header formats 😎👆

I've been trying to set up a minecraft server, and i'm having problems with DNS.

I've been unable to access my stuff without the cloudflare proxy for some reason and cloudflare wants money if they're gonna proxy minecraft since it isn't http(s).

It's also kind of weird that i just can't access anything without a proxy. the AAAA record is set up propperly as far as i see, and i can connect with just the ip no problem. i don't really see what the problem is, besides that there isn't an A record.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix that?

How to find your Apple TV's IPv6 address(es)

Since Apple TV's network settings don't list IPv6 info, it's time to get creative, though it won't be the hardest tech guide out there. Typically it has 2 IPv6 addresses: 1 public, and 1 private (The latter of which is used within the home's router network).

————————————————

Public IPv6 address

Download https://apps.apple.com/app/icurlhttp-appletv/id1153384808 (iCurlHTTP AppleTV)

2) Open that app. 3) In its "Browser" settings in the lower left, change from "User" to "iPhone". This is required. 4) In its address field in the upper left, write "https://ip.me". Then press the remote's OK button. 5) If it works, a row will show up a slight bit down in the text results that say "<p class="ip-address">" followed by your Apple TV's public IP.

————————————————

Private IPv6 address (i.e. within your router's LAN)

Download https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vlc-media-player/id650377962 (VLC for Apple TV)

2) Open that app. 3) Go to "Remote Playback" → Click "Turn On Remote Playback" if it hasn't already been turned on. 4) The app will show a URL that it tells users to open on a non-"Apple TV device". It will usually be "http://(The Apple TV's network name in lowercase with dashes).local" Ensure that the VLC app remains on that screen throughout the entire rest of the guide. 5) On a Windows, macOS, or Linux device (Android won't work), open any sort of command line (PowerShell, Cygwin, Windows Terminal, Command Prompt, Mac Terminal, Bash, ZSH, anything you can think of like those). It is not needed to run as administrator, though nothing bad happens if you do.

6) Type "ping (the URL from step 4 but without the http:// part)", then press Enter.

7) If it works, the result will show "Pinging (URL) [(The private IP address)] with 32 bytes of data:" 8) That IP (Remove the last "%(2 numbers)" part first) can then be pasted into a browser, "http://[(The IP)]". The square brackets are required. 9) If the browser loads a "Drop files" window, then the IP works correctly.
