We ~~testing~~ ~~with~~ a ~~machine~~ on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) how our services would work just using just native IPv6.

In 2011 we tested a computer on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) to see how our services would work just using just native IPv6.

We used an ~~apple~~ laptop, ~~and~~ disabled IPv4 and enabled IPv6. ~~-we~~ suspect similar results on an ADSL line - we'll test this later on.

We used an Apple laptop, disabled IPv4 and enabled IPv6. We suspect similar results on an ADSL line - we'll test this later on.

We want to ensure that all our services work over IPv6. This page has our progress and notes.

===Tested IPv6 only configurations===

A&A BT FTTC - Openreach Modem - FireBrick 2700 - Apple Computer

===IPv6 NAT64 gateway ===

AAISP provide an IPv6 to IPv4 gateway, which allows one to connect to the IPv4 world from an IPv6-only machine.

To use this, simply change the DNS server addresses to 2001:8b0:6464::1 and 2001:8b0:6464::2

Note that the IPv6 router advertisements from your router may still broadcast the normal DNS server addresses.

⚫

===How to test===

We have 2 IP test web pages:

*https://ip4.help.me.uk

*https://ip6.help.me.uk

Each will return your corresponding IP address.

If you get bored looking for IPv6 websites, there is always https://loopsofzen.co.uk to keep you occupied.
