| 23 | \r | |
| 24 | <b>First of all, what is IPv6?</b>\r | |
| 25 | \r | |
| 26 | IPv6 is a new Internet Protocol, meant to replace IPv4 (the current\r | |
| 27 | IP-protocol) one day. It offers better flexibility, more security,\r | |
| 28 | and on top of that - practically unlimited address space. The\r | |
| 29 | transition will not happen at a certain time of the clock, actually\r | |
| 30 | it has already begun - it's slowly making its way into the public\r | |
| 31 | knowledge.\r | |
| 32 | \r | |
| 33 | \r | |
| 34 | <b>Hmm, how do I connect to an IPv6-IRC-site with my dialup?</b>\r | |
| 35 | \r | |
| 36 | You don't. Currently there is no way of connecting to a v6-site\r | |
| 37 | directly from a v4-address. If you, however, want to get connected\r | |
| 38 | for good, here are two ways of doing it:\r | |
| 39 | \r | |
| 40 | \r | |
| 41 | <b>Tunneling</b>\r | |
| 42 | \r | |
| 43 | Freenet6 offers free IPv6-connectivity to all dialup-boxes with\r | |
| 44 | normal networking-capabilities. All the packets you wish to send\r | |
| 45 | via IPv6 are routed thru your 6BONE provider. Thus if you\r | |
| 46 | make a tunnel to Japan, it will be a tad silly to connect back to\r | |
| 47 | your domestic site with it - this is, if you don't live in Japan.\r | |
| 48 | \r | |
| 49 | \r | |
| 50 | <b>Proxy-surfing</b>\r | |
| 51 | \r | |
| 52 | If some of your friends or co-workers run IPv6-boxes, you could\r | |
| 53 | politely try asking them to install a v6-capable proxy. This\r | |
| 54 | would mean you can connect with it (SOCKS/WWW-browsing/such) to,\r | |
| 55 | for example, v6-websites without having to do pratically anything\r | |
| 56 | yourself.\r | |
| 57 | \r | |
| 58 | \r | |
| 59 | <b>But how...?</b>\r | |
| 60 | \r | |
| 61 | Setting up IPv6-connectivity (with older OSes) is actually a bit\r | |
| 62 | difficult. As time passes, better support is added, but some\r | |
| 63 | operating-systems simply do not yet offer sufficient support for\r | |
| 64 | IPv6. Proxying is the way to do it, then. But as for tunneling,\r | |
| 65 | you can find a few good tutorials with the files you need at:\r | |
