[opensuse] IPv6 access over IPv4 ISP
I've been experimenting with IPv6 recently. Since my ISP does not provide IPv6, I used a gateway, which I tunnel to via IPv4 UDP. Clients for this are available for Linux, Mac, BSD, Solaris etc., even Windows. The service and client are free after you sign up. The Windows client is an executable and requires .NET. The rest have to be compiled for the appropriate platform. I have tried it on both OpenSUSE 11.0 (32 & 64 bit) and XP. It appears to work fine with both. You can use ipv6.google.com to test the client, as that site is not available via IPv4. The gogonet site is accessible via both IPv4 & IPv6. You can sign up and get the client here: http://gogonet.gogo6.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You need to compile a ipv6 client for you to use this on OpenSUSE? I just use a tunnel broker like http://tunnelbroker.net/ and a few "ip" commands to configure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What commands would those be? Also, I understand that some routers may have issues with port 41. That gogonet method creates an encrypted tunnel using SSL and a UDP port, which routers can usually handle. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

After reserving a tunnel on the broker site.... modprobe ipv6 ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote 72.52.104.XX local 203.70.27.XXX ttl 255 ip link set he-ipv6 up ip addr add 2001:XXX:1f04:XXX::2/64 dev he-ipv6 ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6 ip -f inet6 addr But, all of this is provided for you at the broker site.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm having problems with the ip tunnel command. The gogo client uses something similar and even when I enter it manually, I get an error: ioctl: No such device Any idea what might be causing this? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One thing I've noticed is the gogonet client uses either protocol 41 or UDP to set up the tunnel, depending on whether you're behind a NAT firewall. It does this automagically. This makes it nice for those who carry a notebook computer, as they don't have to worry about how they get to the internet. It also uses ssl to encrypt the tunnel. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
