I cleared the Hurricane Electric Sage test way back in August. When you do clear this test, the HE people promise to send you a nice nerdy IPv6 T-shirt. It did take them some time, but today it arrived.

Thanks guys.

Today I checked my IPv6 connectivity in the [IPv6 test]\{http://ip6.nl/test} and this resulted in

IPv6 Check for pa1ton.nl

Stupid web user

As blogged before I had my first IPv6 visitor, but of course the first IPv6 type that tried to enter my network could not be far of. Yep and there he/she is. It’s IP address 2002:4e6d:8112::1 and that does not resolve to something useful, yet, because it’s a 6to4 network address. Recalculating to an IPv4 address this gives me: 78.109.129.18 and digging that results in ; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> -x 78. [Read More]

I’ve been running this blog for some time now and for the IPv6 certificate I needed this site to be IPv6 capable. Therefore I had to run my own nameserver and stuff like that and so I decided that it would be nice if you could reach me at http://pa1ton.nl as well. Well, you can. Just click here. Some URL’s need some tweaking, but the first hurdles have been taken. [Read More]

IPv6 certification level 'Sage' reached

 Posted on August 24, 2010  |  1 minutes  |  95 words  |  Ton Kersten

It took me some time and some tweaking of nameservers, webservers and mailservers, but I finally got it. I got the Hurricane Electric IPv6 Certification nailed for the Sage level. This is the highest level, so only a simple test to go and a daily submission of some logs for maximum points. the maximum points you can get is 1500, so I’m well on my way. As an extra HE gives you a nice, nerdy T-Shirt, stating that you are an IPv6 guru. [Read More]

Deploying IPv6

 Posted on August 16, 2010  |  1 minutes  |  99 words  |  Ton Kersten

It took me some time, but now I have it up and running. My home network runs IPv6 and my server can be reached on an IPv6 address. Unfortunately I don’t have a native IPv6 address and my provider (UPC/Chello) will not supply one. So I had to use a tunnel broker. After experimenting a bit I got stuck on the Tunnel Broker of Hurricane Electric. My m0n0wall firewall supports the Tunnelbroker IPv6/IPv4 tunnels and after configuring some firewall rules everything is up and running. [Read More]
