G+_Ian Treleaven Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Networking show topic: Setting up an IPv6 Tunnel. This would be a nice show topic in my opinion. Not only how to set it up in the easy case but how to investigate issues when it doesn't work. I've tried to do this with my router, a Raspberry Pi and also Windows, using both SixXS and Hurricane Electric. I think even though I've set my router to allow ping and to use an 'Open NAT', I'm not getting protocol 41. It would be great to cover IP protocols and ways to test if your ISP and/or router are blocking them. After all this is done, it would be great to have some thoughts on whether or not adding IPv6 support of any kind to the outside world is a good thing to do. For example, some browsers have a long time-out when they try to get to a site using IPv6 then retry using IPv4. It can have the side-effect of appearing to slow down the Internet.

G+_Eddie Foy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 GRC's shields up! works well for port scanning your IP. You could also run nmap/zenmap against your public IP. But the loopback might taint results. Running nmap from a VPS in the cloud would be ideal. (I'm paying $40 a year for a limited, but not crippled VPS. But GRC has a free port scanner.)

G+_Stede Bonnett Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I've tried a few different ways to make a tunnel and using pfSense has been the most reliable (working since 2.1.1 beta). DD-WRT didn't have "enough" IPv6 support last I checked, and my previous Linux router (Zentyal) still doesn't have v6 integration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
