IPv6 is hard to wrap a head around first, but one I got it it’s so nice to have it.

Imagine not having to do bottleneck which is reverse proxy for multiple local machines, just give them all different IPs.

For whatever reason, to this day I get a 403 error on http://google.com/ from IPv6. https://www.google.com/ works through.

Sometimes it’s not your side that is broken.

SteveTech ,

http://google.com/ works fine for me, tested in Firefox and with curl -6. So it could actually be your side that is broken, although it is probably your ISP’s.

My side works fine, Google just doesn’t like the address. It’s a tunnelbroker address, maybe they consider that bots… but only for some of their servers? It’s weird

SteveTech ,

Oh okay, IMO IPv6 tunnels are worse than just disabling it, because it’s basically just a proxy with IPv6, and since there’s no encryption (at this layer) both your ISP and now the tunnel could collect your data, as well as added latency.

But I guess it’s okay for experimentation or if you actually require IPv6 for something.

Hard disagree there. It is a tunnel, it is plenty fast if the intermediate node is close enough, and why would you want encryption at the IP layer.

It works great and gives me IPv6 that I otherwise wouldn’t have with my ISP (Optimum), allowing me to connect to native IPv6 site and use all the IPv6 functionality I want (dedicated IPs for containers/VMs etc).

SteveTech ,

Yeah those are some good points, I guess I’m just spoilt with native IPv6.

ipv6.google.com is a thing! If it works for you, you have working ipv6, if it doesn’t, you don’t!

I have IPv6, Google just doesn’t like my address.

For a little historical context:

  • IPv6 became a draft standard in 1998, and did not officially lose the “draft” status until 2017.
  • Hurricane Electric launched their well-known IPv6 tunnel service in 2001.
  • Google has published IPv6 adoption stats since 2008. These stats consistently show a greater fraction of users are on IPv6 on the weekend, because it’s more common on mobile and home networks than office networks.

Unfortunately some ISPs are total garbage and don’t support IPv6 in 2023. Eg. lemmy.world/comment/269250

My ISP forces me to choose between static IPv4 or non-routable IPv4+IPv6 😓
