  24. <description>Netflix content is apparently delivered through quite a few more hosts.
  25.  
  26. Those hosts are only for their frontend, not for their content.
  27.  
  28. There are quite a few people who have been trying to find the exact list, either filtering by prefix (which will have collateral damage, as Amazon is also involved), or by filtering on DNS.
  29.  
  30. Easier is just to not give IPv6 to the device that does your Netflix IPv6. VLANs are an amazingly handy tool.

  41. <description>I found this solution:
  42. &#60;code&#62;up  ip -6 route add unreachable 2a01:578:3::/48
  43. &#60;/code&#62;
  44. This prevents IPv6 to netflix servers
  45.  
  46. You may need to adapt according to your location
  47.  
  48. &#60;code&#62;www.netflix.com is an alias for www.geo.netflix.com.
  49. www.geo.netflix.com is an alias for www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com.
  50. www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com has IPv6 address 2a01:578:3::36ab:2214
  51. www.eu-west-1.prodaa.netflix.com has IPv6 address 2a01:578:3::364d:c542
  52. &#60;/code&#62;...

  67. In Sweden there are plenty of providers who give out IPv6 on mobile networks, for example Tele2. That said, it is not impossible to get IPv6 via 4G :)

  81. Don't ask us.... &#60;b&#62;Call Your ISP for IPv6&#60;/b&#62;.
  82.  
  83. We do not know what the ISPs in your neighbourhood offer you, nor do we hold any kind of power over them.
  84.  
  85. And as long as you do not call, they do not know that people actually want that feature and they will claim nobody asks for it and you will never get it. Just like the last 20 years have gone on.

  103. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Streaming content over the PoPs is a rather bad abuse of bandwidth anyway. You can do that perfectly fine over IPv4. There is nothing in streaming that you are testing IPv6 or trying to transition to IPv6.

  106. I'd rather not stream over the tunnel; the other TV uses IPv4 only. My phone, even if it also can access the tunnel over WiFi, streams netflix over IPv4.
  107.  
  108. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;&#38;gt; So how can I disable ipv6 on the Chromecast?
  109.  
  110. Put these kind of devices in a separate network (VLAN). Then do not provide IPv6 there for the time being.
  111. &#60;/div&#62;
  112.  
  113. The chromecast (and the other TV) is connecting over WiFi; I don't think I can do VLAN, but I can filter the mac of the chromecast from the linux running the tunnel.

  125.  
  126. And of course &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.sixxs.net/faq/misc/?faq=geolocation&#34;&#62;the FAQ: What about geolocation? How does a content provider where my endpoint is?&#60;/a&#62;.
  127.  
  128. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Netflix support say it's because I'm using an ipv6 tunnel not from my provider.&#60;/div&#62;
  129. While you should not be asking for an IPv6 &#60;i&#62;tunnel&#60;/i&#62;, you should be asking for an IPv6 connection from your ISP.
  130.  
  131. &#60;b&#62;Did you Call Your ISP for IPv6?&#60;/b&#62;
  132.  
  133.  
  134. IPv6 tunnels are a &#60;i&#62;transition&#60;/i&#62; technology. Streaming content over the PoPs is a rather bad abuse of bandwidth anyway. You can do that perfectly fine over IPv4. There is nothing in streaming that you are testing IPv6 or trying to transition to IPv6.
  135.  
  136. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;So how can I disable ipv6 on the Chromecast?&#60;/div&#62;
  137. Put these kind of devices in a separate network (VLAN). Then do not provide IPv6 there for the time being.
  138.  
  139.  
  140. Yes, geo restrictions are stupid, especially as you are paying them for the service with a credit card from a certain country, and have given your address for that same country.
  141.  
  142. Do not blame Netflix for this stance, blame the people who have abused IPv6 tunnels to circumvent geo-restrictions and more importantly the content industry who clearly does not want you to pay for the content, but get it some other way....

  153. <description>I have a tunnel running on a separate Linux notebook, supplying ipv6 to my home network.
  154. It is not the default ipv4 gateway.
  155. I can see Netflix on my TV and my android, but my Chromecast on other TV, Netflix say I should disable my proxy, and Netflix support say it's because I'm using an ipv6 tunnel not from my provider.
  156.  
  157. So how can I disable ipv6 on the Chromecast?
  158. Are there some settings on the Chromecast itself?
  159. Or should I somehow block the Chromecast from getting an ipv6 from the Linux tunnel provider?

  191. I am indeed using this one as well. But also wanted to support any Usenet provider enabling IPv6 access. Unfortunately Newsoo got shutdown recently. Using free Newszilla and having paid account with Altopia and XSnews (both IPv6 enabled). Also my provider recently enabled IPv6 (Ziggo) so also using their nntp server (and basically not using Sixxs tunnel anymore). Still looking for more IPv6 usage (services free or paid).

  219. <description>&#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Trying to install tap-driver-32_64 drivers, but Windows is throwing errors, as is usually always does, because it's Windows.&#60;/div&#62;
  220. No it is throwing errors as Windows is a product that gets upgraded and the 32_64 edition is build against an older SDK.
  221.  
  222. Instead use the one from OpenVPN, at:
  223. https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/tap-windows-9.21.1.exe
  224.  
  225. That one is Windows 10 aware.
  226.  
  227. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;What is the step-by-step process of making this work on Windows 10? just FYI: I did read the setting up page (https://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=ossetup&#38;amp;os=windows)&#60;/div&#62;
  228. Those instructions are for older versions of Windows. In 20 years of IPv6, things have changed, IPv6 is default now for instance.
  229.  
  230. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;This part here confuses me and I tried this already, but what does it mean by requiring IPv4 Endpoint here? I can only see this being used for web servers, but I don't have a web server.&#60;/div&#62;
  231. If you are confusing that with a webserver, then you are definitely not understanding the details there.
  232. Also more likely you are behind a NAT and thus you require an AYIYA tunnel which cannot be set up with those details.
  233.  
  234. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;I could try entering my own local IP in there but it returns an error, again obviously.&#60;/div&#62;
  235. As you say 'local IP', you are indeed meaning you are behind a NAT.
  236.  
  237. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;I don't ever remember seeing Linux setup being this difficult, but Windows setup here is just bull-malarkey with more complicated way of setting up.&#60;/div&#62;
  238. Windows is a end-user system, it is not directly meant for routing. And actually Windows is not difficult to configure for this, if you understand how things really work and what everything means, but the same goes for Linux and any other platform.
  239.

  248. <comments>https://www.sixxs.net/forum/?msg=apps-14869369&amp;from=rss</comments>
  249. <description>Ok I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out how to set this up on Windows 10. I swear setting up on Windows is more troublesome than Linux. With Linux that's very easy to setup and get running with.
  250.  
  251. &#60;b&#62;OK Issue:&#60;/b&#62;
  252.  
  253. Trying to install &#60;i&#62;tap-driver-32_64&#60;/i&#62; drivers, but Windows is throwing errors, as is usually always does, because it's Windows. Giving error saying &#60;i&#62;&#38;quot;This program might not of been installed correctly, try installing with compatibility settings?&#38;quot;&#60;/i&#62; obviously I click no, because that makes no difference half the time, if not, most of the time, and yes I have tried, it still made no difference.
  254.  
  255. &#60;i&#62;tapinstall.exe&#60;/i&#62; fails to install it, even tried from command prompt and even says so from there.
  256.  
  257.  
  258. What is the step-by-step process of making this work on Windows 10? just FYI: I did read the setting up page (https://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=ossetup&#38;amp;os=windows) but it literally makes no sense nor does it help with getting setup because the commands don't work.
  259.  
  260. Obviously this command snippet here doesn't work for Windows 10, because command doesn't exist.
  261. &#60;code&#62;C:\&#38;gt; netsh interface ipv6 install&#60;/code&#62;
  262.  
  263. This part here confuses me and I tried this already, but what does it mean by requiring IPv4 Endpoint here? I can only see this being used for web servers, but I don't have a web server.
  264. &#60;code&#62;C:\&#38;gt; netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel SixXS [Your IPv4 Endpoint] [PoP IPv4 Endpoint]&#60;/code&#62;
  265.  
  266. I could try entering my own local IP in there but it returns an error, again obviously. I don't ever remember seeing Linux setup being this difficult, but Windows setup here is just bull-malarkey with more complicated way of setting up.

  300. <description>Hi Jeroen Massar,
  301.  
  302. Thanks for your answers.
  303. I managed to find a page on here showing a default config file.
  304. Once I put my details in for my tunnel
  305. the AICCU console is showing
  306. &#38;quot;Successfully retrieved tunnel information for Tunnel TXXXYYY&#38;quot;
  307. then some errors to do with the registry
  308. then 4 times
  309. &#38;quot;OK&#38;quot;
  310. then 3 times it has stated
  311. &#38;quot;OBJECT ALREADY EXISTS&#38;quot;
  312. then
  313. &#38;quot;OK&#38;quot;
  314. followed by
  315. [AYIYA-start] : Anything in Anything (draft-02)
  316. [AYIYA-tun-&#38;gt;tundev] : (Socket to TUN) started
  317.  
  318. But I still can not reach any IPV6 websites.
  319.  
  320. Do you have any further ideas please?
  321. Do I need to change any settings in my ROUTER?
  322.  
  323.  
  324. Best regards,
  325.  
  326. John

  337. <description>&#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;The AICCU console is not finding the config file though.&#60;/div&#62;
  338. That is as you need to create it. username + password is sufficient if you have one tunnel. tunnel_id is recommended.
  339.  
  340. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;1) Do I need to leave this computer ON in order to maintain my TUNNEL?&#60;/div&#62;
  341. Static tunnels are required to always be active.
  342.  
  343. Dynamic tunnels (Heartbeat/AYIYA) are dynamic, thus they don't.
  344.  
  345. See the FAQ for the exact details.
  346.  
  347. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;2) Can I set it up on more than one computer or is only one needed?&#60;/div&#62;
  348. Only one computer is needed for a tunnel, and one can only terminate a tunnel at one computer.
  349.  
  350. As a /64 is routed to the endpoint one can use that to give other computers in the same network IPv6 connectivity. See the FAQ for the details.
  351.  
  352. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;3) Can I reach the IPV6 internet from more than one device once I set it up on this computer or do I need to install stuff for each device separately?&#60;/div&#62;
  353. As you get a public IPv6 address, that host is globally reachable by as many other hosts as your network allows.
  354.  
  355. Each host does need it's own IPv6 address. Thus if another host has no IPv6 address you need to provide connectivity through it. The FAQ details this.
  356.  
  357. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Please note that I also have some ANDROID devices and a MAC&#60;/div&#62;&#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;and a number of PCs that all connect via my wireless router.&#60;/div&#62;
  358. If they have an IPv6 stack (most do nowadays) then see the FAQ for the details.

  369. <description>Hi everyone,    :-)
  370.  
  371. WINDOWS 10 64 bit Professional.
  372. HP ProBook 4530s, 4GB of RAM.
  373. i7-2670QM processor @ 2.2GHz
  374. 1.55TB of free space left of a 2TB hard drive.
  375.  
  376. I have requested a TUNNEL here.
  377. I am a completely newbie to this stuff so please bear with me.
  378.  
  379. I was trying to follow install instructions at
  380. https://www.sixxs.net/tools/aiccu/
  381.  
  382. It appears that I have the TAP driver running here.
  383.  
  384. The AICCU console is not finding the config file though.
  385.  
  386. I would also like to know that if and when I get this IPV6 setup going on this computer;
  387. 1) Do I need to leave this computer ON in order to maintain my TUNNEL?
  388. 2) Can I set it up on more than one computer or is only one needed?
  389. 3) Can I reach the IPV6 internet from more than one device once I set it up on this computer or do I need to install stuff for each device separately?
  390. Please note that I also have some ANDROID devices and a MAC
  391. and a number of PCs that all connect via my wireless router.
  392.  
  393.  
  394. Please help.
  395.  
  396. Best regards,
  397.  
  398. John

  429. It's not true as I'm on dualstack with preference of IPv4 internet sites set in the browser. Enhance this test a bit more to enforce client to use IPv6 as well (like pointing to IPv6 only virtualhosts).

  466. <description>Thanks for your registrar recommendations. I will check them out!
  467.  
  468. I've got an update from name.com support. It turns out they allow to have both A and AAAA to be registered for the same name server, but it's not exactly obvious how to do that in their UI. I'm copying their answer here in case somebody else has the same problem:
  469.  
  470. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Thank you for contacting name.com. I see that you were able to add ns0.opencube.space so that if you are trying to create the same servers again but with an IPv6 address, it will fail. Instead, you can use the blue 'edit' button to the right of the server to add the IPv6 address into the add field that appears. You can then create ns1.opencube.space and do the same with it.
  471.  
  472. I apologize for any confusion you may have experienced. If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
  473. &#60;/div&#62;
  474.  
  475. OVH have been quite unhelpful with this issue so far. It is difficult to get through to somebody who knows what a glue record is.
  476.

  486. <description>Your registrar should allow both A + AAAA to be registered for the same hostname.
  487. If they do not allow that, complain and or change registrar.
  488.  
  489. Joker works like a charm, and we hear really good things too about GKG.net
  490.  
  491. See the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.sixxs.net/faq/dns/?faq=ipv6glue[&#34;&#62;FAQ for a list of registrars that are IPv6 and DNSSEC capable&#60;/a&#62;.

  502. <description>Hi,
  503.  
  504. I would like to create two glue records (A and AAAA) for my name server, the first pointing to its IPv4 address and the second pointing to its IPv6 address.
  505.  
  506. Example of the expected end result (glue records of sixxs.net):
  507. &#60;code&#62;$ dig NS sixxs.net @b.gtld-servers.net
  508. ...
  509. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
  510. ns.paphosting.net. 172800 IN AAAA 2001:7b8:3:47:20d:b9ff:fe14:70d4
  511. ns.paphosting.net. 172800 IN A 213.154.229.21
  512. ...&#60;/code&#62;
  513.  
  514. As you can see, the same hostname (ns.paphosting.net) is used in both glue records.
  515.  
  516. I've tried to configure my glue records like this with two registrars (name.com and OVH), but I always get an error message (e.g. &#38;quot;A Host Object With That Hostname Already Exists&#38;quot;).
  517.  
  518. I'm starting to wonder whether this configuration is illegal or just too uncommon to support by the registrars. Have you ever come across this issue? How do you configure the glue records of your domain names?
  519.  
  520. Thanks!
  521.  
  522. Regards
  523.  
  524. Radim

  546. <description>&#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;&#38;gt; When I set up aiccu on this macbook I had trouble with routing and restarted aiccu a couple of times and quickly ran into a rate limit on the TIC server.
  547.  
  548. The system actively discourage restarting as it should never be needed.
  549.  
  550. Doing a lot of restarts indicates that something is broken and that one should find the proper solution to the proper. Just restarting AICCU does not resolve any of these issues.
  551.  
  552. Hence, provide details, without them, your problem won't be resolved.
  553. &#60;/div&#62;
  554.  
  555. I resolved these routing issues. It was just that I had to reload the configuration a couple of times (while trying to find out why it was broken), because I had to change individual options.

  568.  
  569. Doing a lot of restarts indicates that something is broken and that one should find the proper solution to the proper. Just restarting AICCU does not resolve any of these issues.
  570.  
  571. Hence, provide details, without them, your problem won't be resolved.

  579. <title>AICCU does not reestablish the tunnel after resuming from sleep on Mac OS X</title>

  582. <description>&#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;&#38;gt;  aiccu seems to not handle this situation well as it won't reestablish the tunnel after resuming and reconnecting to a network
  583.  
  584. Any technical details on this?
  585. &#60;/div&#62;
  586. Unfortunately, I don't have any evidence other than traffic 'just not getting through'. I have enabled verbose logging in the config file, but I can't find any log messages in the 'Console' logging app on OS X after resuming from suspend. It looks to me that aiccu just resumes normal operation like before suspending. I'll try to start aiccu directly via shell and see.
  587.  
  588. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Note that there is no need for AICCU to do any kind of 'reestablish' or 'reconnection' as it is just sending and receiving packets.
  589. &#60;/div&#62;
  590. That's true, I'll investigate further.
  591.  
  592. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;&#38;gt; because it imposes a greater load in the TIC servers
  593.  
  594. The TIC servers should rarely be queried, only when AICCU starts. After that as long as AICCU runs, it will never ask them again. And it does not need too either.
  595. &#60;/div&#62;
  596. When I set up aiccu on this macbook I had trouble with routing and restarted aiccu a couple of times and quickly ran into a rate limit on the TIC server.
  597.  
  598. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;&#38;gt; because the tunnel connection is more unstable.
  599.  
  600. Please elaborate what &#38;quot;tunnel connection is more unstable&#38;quot;, what do you mean?
  601. &#60;/div&#62;
  602. I mean that for my typical usage I work on the macbook for 10-30 minutes at a time and then suspend it and some times resume 5-10 minutes later (thank god for quick SSD based storage ;) ). So it constantly has to reconnect to wireless network and might change its IPv4 address.
  603.  
  604. Based on that I thought that aiccu has to reestablish the tunnel more than when I have it running on my router at home.
  605.  
  606. Now that I'm thinking about more thoroughly about this issue I think that aiccu can handle the situation I described in my original posting. I'll look more into log messages and packet dumps and see what the real issue is.
  607.  
  608. Thank you for your quick response!

  623.  
  624. &#60;div class=&#34;quote&#34;&#62;Maybe, it's just not the targeted environment for aiccu and a SixXS tunnel,&#60;/div&#62;
  625. AICCU is fully intended, with the help of heartbeat and AYIYA (for behind NAT) to work in dynamic IP and not-always-online situations.
