Comment on IPv6 for self hosters

Cool, thx!
For me to switch, I’d need a simple tutorial on how to do it. Something that I could learn and solve first problems within a day or weekend. I hope it’s not grub like difficult

I have no idea. Fritz box, ipv6 is enabled but I don’t use it 😅

Its really not that hard. Sadly, my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6 yet, but for my vServer, enabling IPv6 was just a checkbox during creation. Then, you need to make sure that the service (e.g. webserver) also listens on the IPv6 address and maybe tweak the configuration of the webserver to actually serve websites via IPv6. Also, check your firewall settings. Lastly, you need to set the DNS AAAA records and you’re done.

If you need IPv6, you can get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric. They will give you a /48 if you request it. I used it for years since my old ISP didn’t have IPv6. I am close to one of their servers, so the latency was very low.

You’re right, that’s an option. I could set this up at my router, this way it would be almost indistinguishable from IPv6 via my ISP.
