Boosts welcome.
@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town Don´t know.
Maybe i am too dumb to activate this.

IPv6 support was among my selection criteria when I choose my current ISP.

@toroidalcore annoyingly CenturyLink _used_ to halfass this with a 6rd tunnel. they got acquired by Lumen (now AT&T) and 6rd is completely broken and i’ve been told “it was a coincidence it worked to begin with”
-
@toroidalcore Follow up, do you actually use/configure IPv6
@theraspb @toroidalcore yes but only for a few niche personal projects. I normally block it in any situation where ipv6 is not actively being used. (Surface attack reduction and all that.. not really useful but when it's active I've seen quite a few bots and not legit traffic)

@toroidalcore Yes, buy then doesn’t fully support IPv4…

@tristan Gotta love the working by coincidence bit.

@mkj It's only recently that it's looking like I have a choice of ISPs, at least terrestrial wired ones. Good to be able to put some pressure on them that way.

@toroidalcore My ISP is IPv6-native, and IPv4 is provided over a MAP-E tunnel, so to get IPv4 working you need a router with support for MAP-E. Domestic consumer routers support it, but e.g. Ubiquiti and OpenWrt only very recently gained support.
I pay an extra $5/mo for a public+static IPv4, otherwise you’re stuck being CGNAT where you get a pseudo-random range of ports forwarded.
$35/mo for 10 gigabit fiber.
@kalleboo I'm envious, I pay $55 a month for gigabit down, 40 megabit with cable. Hoping to get symmetrical fiber soon, but still not that fast.
Were they forthcoming and telling you that you needed to set up MAP-E, or did you end up finding that out the hard way?

@theraspb @toroidalcore my isp (Rakuten Hikari, Western Japan, NTT West backbone) just sent me the email to change some settings to allow v6 last week. I'm gonna do it when I feel like it.
@sleepytako @theraspb I'm not sure when my ISP, Spectrum, started supporting it, but I've had it set up for a few months now properly. I've got an OpenBSD machine as a router, and just really hadn't configured it.

@samantha42 That's one way to get people to migrate.

@toroidalcore He, yes. It did make me set up IPv6 on my local network, which I hadn’t bothered with before.

@toroidalcore Follow up, do you actually use/configure IPv6
@theraspb @toroidalcore Have been using native IPv6 support from my ISP since 2011.
-
@toroidalcore He, yes. It did make me set up IPv6 on my local network, which I hadn’t bothered with before.
@samantha42 Was there a point where you were primarily using V6? Then? How did you find the coverage, like were there any issues where something was IPv4 only?

@toroidalcore Yes. Mandatory v4-in-v6 encapsulation at the fiber modem.

@theraspb @toroidalcore Yes, but I don't bother checking anymore.
