@matdevdug According to https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/46 Netbird still does not support the *current* Internet Protocol. I've evaluated it last year to replace the #IPSec VPN at $WORK and lack of IPv6 was the reason I had to give up on Netbird. I have quite many #IPv6 -only hosts and my colleagues need to be able to access them.

@rishi556 @miyuru

I suppose we could ask @kev directly which aspect of fosstodon doesn't support #IPv6 instead of speculating amongst ourselves.

@miyuru @rishi556

As far as I know, Fastly provides fosstodon with CDN & dDos protection services not hosting. As far as I can tell, that #IPv6 address won't allow access to the fosstodon website. I get the following error in my browser:

@ryan

for the authoritative side:

When you put AAAA and A records into DNS, IPv6 enabled clients will try IPv6 first and then fall back to IPv4. So Configure and test your systems first, then configure the DNS records.

HTTP / HTTPS are an exception here, they are using something called HappyEyeballs.

@ryan

For the resolver side:

When you only have an IPv4 resolver configured, your clients will only use this one. When your clients get an IPv6 resolver, either via Router Advertisement or DHCPv6, they will try that one. They should fall back.

As with any service: Configure the service first, check the connection, then configure your clients to use the service.

@ryan You pretty much can't use IPv6 without DNS. Sure, technically, you can just fine; but it's really rather impractical.

I would go with what's one of nuintari's rules of networking: start small. Get one small piece to run IPv6, then expand from there. If that means start out by setting up your local DNS resolver to accept queries over IPv6, sure, why not?

@ryan Yes, you should learn IPv6.

You can find a collection of training material here:

https://gitlab.com/jenslink/ipv6-resources/-/blob/main/resources.md?ref_type=heads

BTW, In many cases you don't need DHCPv6, you can just use router advertisements to configure your clients. And if you are running Android, DHCPv6 does not work at all.

I really should start working on the IPv6 tutorial YouTube videos...

@michael I am not aware of any end-user ISP providing only #IPv6 connectivity. I do know of some VPS hosts providing only IPv6 to customer nodes. This has impacted folk wanting to write code that interact with other services (eg: Discord bots).

@freifunkMUC ansonsten fände ich es auch noch sehr spannend, wenn man als weiteren Service für VPN und die VMs auch #Multicast dann anbieten könnte. Auch per #IPv6 und #PIM / #pim6sd über das #IntercityVPN zwischen Communities dann irgendwann. Das gäbe es meines Wissens nach auch bei keinem kommerziellen Angebot bisher.
Aber dann müssten wir nochmal schauen, wie man das gerade mit euren #GluonParker Bestrebungen noch hinbekommen könnte.

@DoctorBrodsky @woe2you @miah given #Quad9 bowed before the #Contentmafia and censored #DNS requests, I'll continue to recommend using #OpenNIC's Servers instead

94.103.153.176 & 2a02:990:219:1:ba:1337:cafe:3 as well as
144.76.103.143 & 2a01:4f8:192:43a5::2

• If you only add a single #IPv4 address, no #IPv6 resolution will take place over said provider or worse even no IPv6 connectivity at all...

I merely retain quad9 on said list for archival purposes. I Yeeted #CloudFlare aka. #ClownFlare since they are a #RogueISP!
