Hi /r/homelab!
I like IPv6 and am trying to build compatibility for it, therefore I have been using the Hurricane Electric IPv6 TunnelBroker service to get a routed /48 block in my environments for the better part of a decade. However, I have found that (especially recently) many web services block these IP ranges due to abuse; this causes long loading times as applications fail over to IPv4, or outright breakage (mostly updates/software installs) as upstream services block my devices with broad sweeping IP address filters. Package repos are hitting me especially hard, as they do not fail over and are sporadically blocked. Fixing this requires disabling IPv6 on the host (though it'...
Hi /r/homelab!
I like IPv6 and am trying to build compatibility for it, therefore I have been using the Hurricane Electric IPv6 TunnelBroker service to get a routed /48 block in my environments for the better part of a decade. However, I have found that (especially recently) many web services block these IP ranges due to abuse; this causes long loading times as applications fail over to IPv4, or outright breakage (mostly updates/software installs) as upstream services block my devices with broad sweeping IP address filters. Package repos are hitting me especially hard, as they do not fail over and are sporadically blocked. Fixing this requires disabling IPv6 on the host (though it's usually less work to just kill it for the entire network) to run the task, then re-enable it; this is becomming unsustainable.
Do you know of any alternative services, which you have had luck with? I am not opposed to paying for a service, but want to keep costs <$30/yr. I have checked with my ISP, after battling their frontline techs to talk to someone who knew what IPv6 was I was quickly informed; no.
