## IPv4
|

|

It's probably start with what is wrong with IPv4 and note that all modern
|
||||
operating systems (including Windows 7 and newer) are designed to work with
|
||||
IPv6 and disabling it may break some features.

|
||||
|
||||
There are no IPv4 addresses for everyone and that is why we have NATs in
|
||||
routers so we only have one IPv4 address facing the internet. That isn't

@ -102,3 +102,80 @@ As I am talking so much about privacy extensions, I must probably tell
|
|||
that you can disable them if you want. I have no idea if that is possible
|
||||
with OS X so I don't say anything about it, I only know that it uses them
|
||||
by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Windows: start by disabling the randomization and then
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=active
|
||||
netsh interface ipv6 set privacy state=disabled store=persistent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Linux: check NetworkManager or whatever you use config files
|
||||
(or connection editor) or use the
|
||||
kernel option directly in `/etc/sysctl.conf` or preferably
|
||||
`/etc/sysctl.d/<whatever>.conf`: `net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=0`.
|
||||
|
||||
The numbers you can use here are:
|
||||
|
||||
* 0 — IPv6 Privacy Extensions are disabled.
|
||||
* 1 — IPv6 Privacy Extensions are enabled, but **SLAAC-address is
|
||||
preferred.**
|
||||
* 2 — IPv6 Privacy Extensions are enabled and preferred. This is usually
|
||||
the default and what you should use.

### Getting IPv6
|
||||
|
||||
For native connectivity I only know about Finland (links in the list in
|
||||
Finnish)…
|
||||
|
||||
* [IPv6 in Finnish consumer connections](http://ape3000.com/ipv6/)
|
||||
* At the time of writing Elisa and DNA which are two of three biggest
|
||||
carriers (Sonera is missing) have IPv6 in all mobile connections, DNA
|
||||
has IPv6 also in broadband connections and Elisa is working on it
|
||||
and Sonera has 6rd.
|
||||
* [Elisa's page on enabling IPv6](http://asiakastuki.elisa.fi/ohje/541)
|
||||
* [DNA's page on IPv6](https://www.dna.fi/ipv6)
|
||||
* [DNA's instructions for enabling IPv6 on different devices](https://www.dna.fi/ipv6-laitteet)
|
||||
|
||||
…but I can suggest searching the web for `yourISP IPv6` and contacting
|
||||
their customer support asking when they are going to enable IPv6.
|
||||
|
||||
For tunneling there are multiple services, but I am only going to mention
|
||||
Teredo shortly, it's the protocol of last resolt for accessing IPv6 sites
|
||||
and Windows comes with it by default. The easiest way to enable it is
|
||||
probably saving the following as `something.reg` and running it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
|
||||
|
||||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
|
||||
"AddrConfigControl"=dword:00000000
|
||||
|
||||
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\TCPIP\v6Transition]
|
||||
"Teredo_DefaultQualified"="Enabled"
|
||||
"Teredo_State"="Enterprise Client"
|
||||
"Teredo_ServerName"="teredo.trex.fi"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Short explanation:
|
||||
* Enable looking up IPv6 records even with Teredo
|
||||
* Enable Teredo…
|
||||
* …even if we are in domain
|
||||
* use teredo.trex.fi as Teredo server, you might want to use some server
|
||||
that is more [near to you](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling#Servers).
|
||||
|
||||
Linux: install package `miredo` and edit the server in `/etc/miredo.conf`
|
||||
if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
And then check [ipv6-test.com](http://ipv6-test.com) and it should detect
|
||||
your Teredo connectivity. Some browsers don't even attempt to use it, at
|
||||
least I think Google Chrome did so.

|
||||
* TL;DR: depending on how you disabled IPv6 your boot might be 5
|
||||
seconds lower and Microsoft discourages disabling it and they don't
|
||||
test working without IPv6. Disabling IPv6 breaks e.g. HomeGroup.
