#IPv6 is a mistake!

Noone needs #128bit address space!
21+ years of protocol existance, yet no mandatory & widespread adoption…
You want to have more than 1 PC per line? We have a solution for it, it's called #NAT!
IPs should not have variable lenghts and hexadecimal digits!!!

These are real #IPv6only mechanisms deployed in the real world!

"Yes, I'd love to have all my devices loose their #IP assignments everytime my #WAN connection resets/disconnects/…!"

They have played us for absolute fools!

Yesterday I’ve replaced my ISP’s issued «Fiber modem» (Freebox Mini 4K) with a dumb converter (TP-Link MC220L).
Electric consumption was 15W, it’s now 1.3W (and fanless!)

In the process I’ve lost access to «phone landline over internet» (used twice a year at best), and TV service (not used at all).

IPv4 works great as usual (+950mbps down / +680mbps up).
IPv6 is broken, I can’t figure out yet how to revive the 6rd config

#edit : got my IPv6 back, I’ll post a howto later

#freebsd #6rd #ipv6

So my FUCKING ip address(es) just changed out of nowhere, breaking all configuration based on it.

One of these was stupid, I hard-coded the IPv4 in DSTNAT for hairpin, so I couldn't access my services on the new IP. FORTUNATELY I have site-to-site WireGuard VPN so with a reload of the wg interface on my router here it reconnected with the new IP on DDNS.

But since my #IPv6 is provided by #6rd, I now have to reconfigure fucking ALL my addresses EVERYWHERE... my static routes between the two LANs, the firewalls, the static ip on the server, the LXD config... UGH

ditto on the other gateway too...

and, I've lost control of this... https://mstdn.social/@lamp@71-38-114-87.lsv2.qwest.net

but, well, on the bright side, my new ip ends in 69 now
