ip-update

With this in mind ip-update.net was created. Working PoC exists, any constructive help, improvements and ideas is appreciated. GitHub discussions will be the preferred method.

Does IPv4 CGNAT potentially make ISPs violate net neutrality by giving sites available over IPv6 an "unfair advantage"? Is there anything similar, but for service providers which give unfair advantage to any particular ISP? Could that be used to argue IPv6 required?

How come @MongoDB Atlas has no IPv6 support? IPv6 is more than old enough to drink, supported by all OSes, and hosting is even moving to IPv6 only, this makes @LearnMongo a non option.

@Azure Thanks, non answer... Get someone in charge to actually answer the question of when! The promises whe have heard over the years are great, but once actually trying to use things, it's all falling apart. Dear @MicrosoftHelps take some responsibility when you make promises!

@ipv6update Hey, that is a great question! We recommend keeping an eye on msft.it/6015Wazfz to get the latest updates on Azure products and features. You can also reach out to our community experts here for additional insights msft.it/6016WazfM. ^AS

How come "almost no" @Azure services has IPv6 enabled? Some examples: KeyVault, Blobstorage, Servicebus, Redis. @AzureSupport Why? WHY?

@Azure Why DM? When will before mentioned services be available over IPv6 (current internet standard)? And what is the reason they aren't already?

@ipv6update Hello, thanks for reaching out to us. Feel free to DM us if there is anything we can help you with! ^AS twitter.com/messages/compo…

@ReliableSite @apnic The absolute majority of ISPs run fully compatible and IPv6 ready devices. They have just not configured them and their network.

@ipv6update @apnic Tell that to all of the ISPs still running hardware that's not compatible with V6.

How much longer is this transition to #IPv6 going to take and does it even matter? Geoff Huston on where we are heading and why: blog.apnic.net/2024/10/22/the…

@ReliableSite @apnic It is, all of IPv4 is available in the IPv6 address space. If you think a bit about how most devices deal with packets, they still need to understand this protocol fully, just consider matching a routing table.

@apnic The real question is, why wasn't IPv6 not designed to be backward compatible with IPv4?

@WordPress @wp_acf @wordpress has also made it clear that they don't intend to make their backend work with hosting on the current version of the protocol (IPv6) they will stay on legacy IPv4 and have tried to use almost every excuse possible to do so.

@wp_acf This has happened several times before, and in line with the guidelines you agreed to by being in the directory: github.com/wordpress/wpor… Best of luck with your version. We're looking forward to making ours amazing for our users, using the best GPL code available.

We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org. A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

@qwertymodo curl -6 ip.wtf

As somebody who has shamelessly used wtfismyip.com in front of the company CEO... Googling it probably would've been the MORE professional option 🤣

@stubarea51 Fully agree.

@ipv6update Even for a single /64, i'm not sure it's even worth it. If you scan 10,000,000 addresses per second, it would still take 58,494 years to scan the entire range.

We love to joke about security via obscurity, but it's not completely without merit for #IPv6, I setup a throwaway Win 10 box in Vultr and gave it an IPv6 GUA. There are no scanning hits on the FW externally for that box (2+ weeks timeframe) which is currently open to the IPv6 Internet for RDP on that host. I'm not sure how an attacker would ever find it tbh. Note: Before the infosec types jump in and vehemently suggest this shouldn't be the only layer of security, i'm not suggesting this is a prod setup...only observations from a test environment.

@ArmSoftwareDev @geerlingguy @github But do they have IPv6?

Exciting news for @GitHub users. 🎉 It's Arm-hosted runners are now available to everyone.  Discover what this means when building Arm-based applications. okt.to/WcwgT7

Did I really want to read these university slides today? It's 30+ years since CIDR and 25+ years since IPv6. There are ~60 slides about IPv4 and NAT and then 6 slides about IPv6 … why can't they teach IPv6 first? 😭 (cc @noIPv6)

@paulmccord @NetworkChuck Every major OS has full support, most smaller ones as well, many of "we" are using it all the time, some of us even exclusively. You might ask your network operator or ISP why for example loopsofzen.uk is broken on their network.

@NetworkChuck IPv6 is early? I’ve been wondering why 20 years later we still haven’t implemented it.

Do you disable IPv6 on your computer? (or network?) For now, while IPv6 is still "early", I'm game for turning off a feature that reduces your attack surface. The recent IPv6 Windows vulnerability was kind of crazy: youtu.be/Z_QlUyYlUCg

@unix2mars @NetworkChuck Every major device/OS can do IPv6, even turned on by default, it is "only" network operators that is lagging behind, and then AAAA records instead of A in DNS.

@NetworkChuck Every mobile phone can do v6. Lots of use rolled out worldwide but not realized. I will buy peoples awareness is not great, but who knows IPv4 these days either? Good topic choice, more awareness is always appreciated!

@NetworkChuck Turn of IPv4, since statistically it has more attacks. You should just make sure you can use IPv6 for everything as soon as possible.

There is several actors that needs to step up their game @wordpressdotcom is one of them.

@getnitropack You have some work to do as well internet.nl/site/nitrocdn.…

@SiteGround The current version of the page is full of incorrect statements.

@SiteGround I see no improvement especially about security, which isn't relevant, you should remove every mention of IPsec on this page, as it has nothing to do with a comparison between v4 and v6 #Security_Enhancements" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eu.siteground.com/kb/ipv4-vs-ipv…

Dear @SiteGround , could you please stop telling lies about IPv6? And also make sure that you actually have IPv6 on your services?
