The solution to fix my development environment at my old job was disabling IPv6. Gives a good insight into the quality of the software…

Ah yes, the print server the whole company relies on.

remram ( remram@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

For whatever reason, to this day I get a 403 error on http://google.com/ from IPv6. https://www.google.com/ works through.

Sometimes it’s not your side that is broken.

SteveTech ( SteveTech@programming.dev ) · 3 years ago

http://google.com/ works fine for me, tested in Firefox and with curl -6. So it could actually be your side that is broken, although it is probably your ISP’s.

remram ( remram@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

My side works fine, Google just doesn’t like the address. It’s a tunnelbroker address, maybe they consider that bots… but only for some of their servers? It’s weird

SteveTech ( SteveTech@programming.dev ) · 3 years ago

Oh okay, IMO IPv6 tunnels are worse than just disabling it, because it’s basically just a proxy with IPv6, and since there’s no encryption (at this layer) both your ISP and now the tunnel could collect your data, as well as added latency.

But I guess it’s okay for experimentation or if you actually require IPv6 for something.

remram ( remram@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

Hard disagree there. It is a tunnel, it is plenty fast if the intermediate node is close enough, and why would you want encryption at the IP layer.

It works great and gives me IPv6 that I otherwise wouldn’t have with my ISP (Optimum), allowing me to connect to native IPv6 site and use all the IPv6 functionality I want (dedicated IPs for containers/VMs etc).

SteveTech ( SteveTech@programming.dev ) · 3 years ago

Yeah those are some good points, I guess I’m just spoilt with native IPv6.

darkfiremp3 ( darkfiremp3@beehaw.org ) · 3 years ago

http://ipv6.google.com is a thing! If it works for you, you have working ipv6, if it doesn’t, you don’t!

remram ( remram@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

I have IPv6, Google just doesn’t like my address.

Accurate label

Love the label 😂

itsmikeyd ( itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

I have all sorts of weird troubles with IPv6 at home. Facebook won’t load some content, Netflix will frequently buffer and fail to load, Steam will almost never download things quickly.

Turn off IPv6 on my router, all my troubles go away.

gogozero ( gogozero@lemmy.sdf.org ) · 3 years ago

sounds like it may be a wonky dns server. if youre interested, try re-enabling ipv6 but use something like cloudflare’s dns in lieu of your ISP’s

Bene7rddso ( Bene7rddso@feddit.de ) · 3 years ago

Either that or the ISP’s IPV6 routing is broken

normonator ( normonator@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

I’m in Canada and none of the 3 ISPs I have available support ipv6 even on business connections.

You can probably guess the three and be wrong but also right, this is the case lots of places in Canada only less options.

neoney ( neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev ) · 3 years ago

S920? I’d buy one to replace my rpi…

AggressivelyPassive ( agressivelyPassive@feddit.de ) · 3 years ago

I have one, they’re awesome.

I MacGyvered a 2.5" HDD into it and idling it draws 5W, while my pi 3 draws 4-5W, so definitely worth a try, if you can get a cheap one.

catacomb ( catacomb@beehaw.org ) · 3 years ago

Weird to see this, I had to do it this morning!

I have a fix to enable IPv6 but I’ll do it after hours :)

o_p ( o_p@lemmy.ml ) · 3 years ago

Used to have an MSI wind back in the day, this looks exactly like it!
