Ipv6 support will make all the port forwarding NAT issues go away,
I have native ipv6 (dual stack) - given that many ip registries have already run out of ipv4 you can expect ipv6 to be pushed hard in the next couple of years.
If IPv6 advocates had a nickel for every time some person said we’ll absolutely need it any second now… Lol…NATs are the big reason that the v4 address pool running out hasn’t pushed v6 over the top just yet… Given how darned ugly so many of the NAT implementations are that’s spectacularly ironic if you ask me. I’d love to see v4 long gone if it were up to me.

Well it is starting to happen.
China has the biggest need for ip, and they have the smallest ipv4 allocation. Apnic ran out a while back…
All their new networks are being built on ipv6.
And yes. Nat was a stopgap. It’s a horribly broken hack network administration wise and needs to die

Don’t see any problem. In any sensible socket API (BSD with getaddrinfo(3)/winsock), it’s enough to change the address family. Then it magically starts working.

Indeed – even my local ISP is starting to hand out readiness for IPv6 tools.

“Amen hallelujah!” as the saying goes.

Therefore I am glad that IPV6 will last a few more years here before they start… Also have switched it of at my system. Absolout no need at the moment.
-
I checked if ports 2934-2937 are open with simple port tester from pcwintech.com, and I noticed random failure with ipv6 on, disabling the ipv6 gave success on open ports.
-
Never had any problems with IPv6 addresses assigned.

No need for a new thread, so i thought i reopen this one…
I’m now one of the lucky guys who is stuck with IPv6 because my ISP can’t give any IPv4 adress ranges away anymore. No more hosting possible for anybody who tries to connect with a IPv4 ISP. The only way to dodge the problem, is to host on a dedicatet Server which is connected to a IPv4 ISP.
The other way around, connecting to IPv4 is no problem, which is in some way a relief, but hosting directly from my machine is from now on a NOGO - except anybody has a go around?
-
Could you possibly use something like Hamachi to side-step this issue?
-
Finnish ISPs give automatically IPV6 now. However we most often can have the IPV4 as well - and I control my own NATs of course.
But it would indeed be very interesting to use DNS names (and IPV6 sites). -
@ ASharpe - Maybe, but not an option for a complete squad to go through the hassle seting up a VPN…

They’ve actually made it ridiculously easy with individual download and connection links that send you right to the VPN that sent you the link.

Thanks ASharpe. It semms to be a work around and i will give it a try. But you know how it is with workarounds. It’s just another thing you have to keep an eye on, before you even get in the pit. I’m refering here also to newcomers who maybe struggle on the same thing and don’t know what maybe seems to be wrong. Of course, the problems are not based on falcon itself.
A solution within Falcon would be best, but right now it could be only mentioned on the wish list caugh caugh

Arin is now also out of IPv4
IPv6 is coming folks, we will need to migrate soon or you’ll be dealing with carrier grade NAT (I.e. Like your home router does but you have no way of doing port forwarding) and no way of doing point to point stuff any more.

No need to start a new thread when i can necromance this one
Teamspeak has already released a server beta capable of IPv6. Does this mean the chance of an BMS Version supporting IPv6 has raised?
-
yes
