I realized I don’t really know all that much about IPv6 :/
I wanna make my website/all my internet services accessible over IPv6 but I’m not sure exactly what it would entail lol. I have a kinda weird setup involving some traffic proxying so ppl can’t tell where I live from my website. For IPv4, I do NAT (gross, I know right?) ofc and I understand I can just set some routes to send traffic over the same tunnel I use for IPv4 to my WWW server but I’m not exactly sure how I should set up the addressing…
I have a pretty large IPv6 prefix delegated to me so I will probably use that but I guess I could use link-local addresses too. But it would be rly rly nice if devices connected over the tunnel could figure out their own addresses out without me having to configure them exactly perhaps. I guess it’s not that hard but I wanna understand what’s going on lol like with SLAAC or routing differences from IPv4. Likeee it’s kinda strange to me that my default route on my internet-facing server is to a link-local address but apparently that’s normal with IPv6??
I would love some recs on books or web resources about IPv6 everything if anyone has any :3 Wikipedia is okay but out of date apparently and search engines aren’t so helpful anymore, brings up a lot of AI slop or tutorials when I want something less sloppy and more comprehensive
I should have been forced to figure this out years ago smh. Also if you’re reading this and run internet services only accessible over IPv4 but you have access to the IPv6 internet… go set that up!! We can all live in a NAT-less world with as many addresses as we could ever want, imagine how nice that would be. Also a lot of ppl are behind CGNAT now and getting to IPv4 resources involves a lot of complication
