Request: IPv6-Support, or something to fix the DSLite-User-problem #171

Open Hedrauta opened 3 years ago

Hedrauta commented 3 years ago

Greetings, i have this request for two reasons:

  1. There are some Germans ( maybe also other ones ) who doesn't have a static external IPv4, because their IPS isn't it supporting it ( most likely reason: it's not DSL ) But to support IPv4-Requests, the IPS is using DS-Lite, which isn't exactly pointing back to the user's PC, which points to...
  2. IPv6 is better reachable. I mean, this is kind of obvious. If you try to ping my IPv4, you'll end at my IPS's Server, which isn't exactly my own PC, right? With IPv6, you can directly ping my local machine, without touching any other machines in my Network.

But this isn't exactly my request 😑

My Request is some kind of solution, which doesn't use IPv4. Or if it has to, some kind of technology ( program bound only VPN for example ) to support the Port-Communication on the Node.

I would be glad to hear, if there are ideas or possibilities, because i'm currently stuck on the Port-Check ;) Ports are open on local ( localhost/ LAN ), but aren't reachable from external on IPv4 (they are reachable on IPv6 😉)

Sincere regards, Hedrauta ( Pi: @H3draut3r )

Hi @Hedrauta ,

The issue you describe commonly happens in countries where the demand for IP addresses is great and the ISPs do not have enough available IP addresses to hand out. I suggest using a VPN service that allows port forwarding - Personally I've used the standard VPN service from Surfshark . - which is what I used successfully to keep my node running on my laptop while traveling abroad. Surfshark kept my node going when I was forced to use many different network types while traveling through Europe and Africa - including mobile hotspots.

I agree that IPV6 support would be great - and will probably be added later on -- but for now, try a VPN service.

Uhm...

* install the OpenVPN Client ( https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/ )

* Check if your VPN-Provider has some .ovpn files provided ( hide.me does )

* setup the login credentials

* install the .ovpn-file on the symbol bar program

* connect

* Be happy to hide your IP in the net 😉
