  • No incoming IPv6

    From Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555 to All on Sun Jun 5 22:41:15 2022
    Hello All,

    My provider send me a new modem/router.

    The new modem/router has a very serious bug that prevents me from accepting incoming IPv6. I really hate this but until I can find a solution for this problem my IPv6 will be Outgoing Only.

    :( :( :(


    Cheers, Michiel

    I would send it back and refuse to use it until they fix the bug. Could a tunnel from he.net or another provider be a possible work around?

    I can't just send it back because when they send you a new modem they deactivate the old modem after the new modem has been registered and became on-line. I have to make some arrangements to get the old modem reinstalled...

    A tunnel is not an option either because the modem/routers provided by the ISP do not have the option to run tunnels. There is an option to have teir modem/router set in bridge mode and run your own router. But I do not have a suitable router at hand. And if I had one, I would not need a tunnel, I could run native IPv6.

    Since a couple of month there is also the option of having one's own cable modem. But at the moment I am not all that eager to invest in either a modem or a router of my own as there is a company installing FTTH here, so I may part with the cable company in the not too distant future...


    Cheers, Michiel

    Any old x86_64 running Linux would serve just fine.

    The problem has been fixed. My provider sent me a new modem. One that supports incoming IPv6. :)

    I am happy that the problem is fixed but I am not happy that it took over a month...
