ipv6 maybe has arrived.
This machine is on bullseye, and when I installed, I noted that
networking worked over ipv4 but have noted jst now that responses to the
ipv6 versions of both ping6 and traceroute6 have changed.
ping6 and traceroute6 can now resolve yahoo.com's ipv6 address where
previously the was no resolution.
But traceroute6 now says:
traceroute to yahoo.com (2001:4998:44:3507::8001), 30 hops max, 80 byte
packets
connect: Network is unreachable
Given that the closest real dns is at my providers site, it would appear
to indicate that my fwded dns requests for a valid ipv6 address for
yahoo.com is now working.
My several machine home net is behind a dd-wrt install, NAT'ed so that
any machine here has access to the net via the ipv4 address my router
obtains from them. That legally is a dynamic address but hasn't changed
in the decade and a half since I last switched isp's to one that just
worked courtesy of cloning the mac from one router to its backup.
So now my question is, can I maintain the same level of security if I
start using an ipv6 address in my router?
And if so, how do I maintain the NAT, & how would I do it? Or am I
better off to not kick this sleeping dog called ipv6?
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
