IPv6 Allocation over IPv4 VPN

rmlhhdrmlhhd Member
in Help

Hello,

I have a dedi which I'm using as a VPN. It's got a /48 IPv6 block (about 16 million addresses)

I'd like to know if and how I can allocate those IPv6 addresses staticly over the VPN using L2TP/IPSec

    Step 1: Claim prefix:0::/64 block for host node.

    Step 2: Assign /126's to each slave

    Step 3: Route /64's to each slave

    Step 4: Magical ponies are flying.

    Interesting! Can you give an example what you would use this for...?

    My ISP is supposedly ready for IPv6 but are not giving out IPv6 addresses so I'm unable to connect to IPv6 Addresses.

    I'd like to use a VPN to get access to IPv6 networks.

    I currently have an L2TP VPN setup but it doesn't give me an IPv6 address.

    Really? An ISP that doesn't support IPv6 yet...I'm surprised. Interesting. I wonder if they're waiting to see if it'll be widely adopted, or perhaps their hardware is outdated...?

    @oneilonline, They are a UK ISP and basically run the entire UK network so they have to invest a lot of money if they want their entire network to support IPv6.

    They say they are ready but I don't know about that.
