Weird but ok
At this pace we can reach page 200 in 36 hours lol
Maybe
Maybe not
Worth a try
Yeah

Hey, any more bench from your Cyber Week stash?
Didn't know that Atlanta nodes had nice network, otherwise I would have grabbed some for me.
It took me by surprise as well. Since having a poor experience in 2016, I had stayed away from that VirMach location. Things have definitely changed for the better. Almost wish I had another one.
For those people at provider locations that only support IPv4 here is a short tutorial I've written to show how to use Hurricane Electric's free tunnelbroker to give a VPS running debian linux at somewhere like ColoCrossing IPv6 connectivity.
For this example we assume the following:
1 - The IP address of your IPv4-only VPS is 1.2.3.4
(wherever you see this 1.2.3.4 address in this tutorial, replace it with the actual IPv4 address of your IPv4-only VPS)
2 - You have installed the Debian 9 operating system (or similar operating system that uses the same format for the /etc/network/interfaces file).
3 - The IPv4 address of your IPv4-only VPS is pingable (if you have some firewall preventing this or have otherwise removed the ability of your IPv4 VPS to be pinged you must fix this or else Hurricane Electric won't make a tunnel to it).
Let's set up a IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel:
Register to create a free account at tunnelbroker.net :
https://tunnelbroker.net/register.php
Once registered log in to your tunnelbroker.net account
Under [User Functions]
Click: Create Regular Tunnel
IPv4 Endpoint (Your side) [ 1.2.3 4 ] <- (the actual IPv4 address of your IPv4-only VPS goes there).
Available Tunnel Servers: < (choose the one that is closest geographically to your IPv4-only VPS)
(my IPv4-only VPS was in Chicago, so I chose Chicago).
(*) Chicago, IL US xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
Now click:
[ Create Tunnel ]
And wait (and wait a little more). If tunnel creation succeeded you'll get something like:
Now click on the [Example Configurations] tab
And select the [Debian/Ubuntu] dropbox:
You'll see something like:
The system generates an example based on your specific tunnel.
You need to paste EXACTLY what is shown to you in that tab into the file /etc/network/interfaces on your debian linux VPS.
(make a copy of the original interfaces file just in case you need it)
(Edit "interfaces" to add at the botton the exact info cut from the [Example Configurations] page:
(add to the bottom exactly what you copied from the Examples Configuration tab)
(replace this one with the values specifically generated for your information)
(start the Ipv4 to IPv6 tunnel)
Now test IPv6 connectivity from your formerly IPv4-only VPS:
PING ipv6.google.com(ord37s18-in-x0e.1e100.net (2607:f8b0:4009:805::200e)) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ord37s18-in-x0e.1e100.net (2607:f8b0:4009:805::200e): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=1.67 ms

You should now be able to reach an IPv6-only VPS from your formerly IPv4-only VPS.
Assume you have an IPv6 only VPS with IP address 1111:2222:3333:4444:0000:0000:0000:0001
With your new IPv4 to IPv6 tunnel you can now ping it from your formerly IPv4-only VPS:
PING 1111:2222:3333:4444:0000:0000:0000:0001 (1111:2222:3333:4444::::0001) 56 data bytes

You can ssh from your previously IPv4-only VPS to your IPv6-only one:
or sftp to it:
Anytime you want to temporarily disable the tunnel, just do:
And to bring it back up:
To delete the tunnel:
https://tunnelbroker.net
Select the tunnel to delete
Then click on [Delete Tunnel]
(That's all).
Awesome. Any help to get this working on Windows server or win 10 please?
Instead of seeing the dropbox for the values for [Debian/Ubuntu] you can choose the to see the commands to start your tunnel for:
[Windows 10]
or
[Windows 2000/XP]
or
[Windows Vista/2008/7/8]

It's time to sleep.
New week is coming.
Earth
Checking in
Good morning
5 hours and you haven't posted anything.
5 hours!
You dissapoint me.
@imok Sorry.
It's time to go to work again.
Monday. What is weird is that I haven't woken up reneging in my mind (until I visited this thread of course).
Maybe good times are coming faster than I thought.
I tried that. No luck. Not sure if there is anything I need to do to activate the tunnel config on win 10. Thnx
I remember last time I saw my great grandmother.
Alive. She was really sick with throat cancer. She was lying in bed, too skinny. She was suffering really bad. Most of my memories about her are not from the happy days.
And then dead. Lying in her coffin with purple clothes. I was so curious and touched her chest. It was solid as a rock. I had never touched a dead body before. Instant regret.
Of course that was around 20 years ago.
Where is page 197 ?
Next to the 196.
But not yet.
Thanks for the info
