I really just wanted to test some NAT64 stuff Why even bother? It doesn't get you much with IPv6. Or have you already used up all the addresses in your /64 subnet? ;-) Hehe, not quite. Have to be careful not to squander them left, right and center :-)
However - what do you do with e.g. a smartphone that has only IPv6 ? How does it get access to IPv4 only websites, for instance? NAT64 seems to be an answer, but I guess it's not the only one. This morning I set up NAT64 with dns64 and tayga, works really well.
There are conversion mechanisms as per RFC 6052 & 6145. Regular NAT won't do it, as all it does is change the apparent address whether on IPv4 or IPv6.
RFC6052 & RFC6145 - TL;DR most of it, but it seems to me that this is exactly what I set up this morning. Nonetheless, do you have a better way of enabling an ipv6-only device to access ipv4 addresses? I'm learning, practical hints please. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
