DigiCert removing support for IPv6 on their services
(digicert.com)
On July 8, 2025, DigiCert will stop reusing existing WHOIS-based domain validations, regardless of whether previously obtained information is within the allowed 397-day reuse period and regardless of the WHOIS method.

In this post, I will share experiences of my experiment of how to setting up the IPv6-only network on Linux using the Jool1.

Schrödinger's IPv6 Cat

IPv6, a protocol developed in the late 1990s to address the anticipated Internet address exhaustion crisis, exists in a paradoxical state.

Huawei allocated 2.5 x 10^33 IPv6 addresses
(theregister.com)
Huawei has been allocated 2.56 decillion IPv6 addresses by regional internet registry the Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC). That's a lot.

TP-Link cannot get IPv6 firewall right

What led to two of my recent posts is TP-Link’s inability to get IPv6 firewall right on their routers.

No NAT November: My month without IPv4
(infected.systems)
Near the beginning of November, nixCraft posted this challenge on Mastodon, daring people to take the No NAT November challenge and disable IPv4 for the month, relying only on IPv6:

IPv6 networks do apparently get probed

For reasons beyond the scope of this entry, my home ISP recently changed my IPv6 assignment from a /64 to a (completely different) /56. Also for reasons beyond the scope of this entry, they left my old /64 routing to me along with my new /56, and when I noticed I left my old IPv6 address on my old /64 active, because why not.

I feel that NAT is inevitable even with IPv6
(utoronto.ca)
Hot take: NAT is good even in IPv6, because otherwise you get into recursive routing and allocation problems that have been made quite thorny by the insistence of so many things that a /64 is the smallest block they will work with (SLAAC, I'm looking at you).

Adding IPv6 to My Home Network (2024-11-03)
(jeremyevans.net)
So there I was, going through life without giving a second thought to IPv6. IPv4 worked fine for me, and why change what isn't broken, right? Well, sometimes life changes, and you start work for a new company, and that company actually uses IPv6. At that point, learning IPv6 becomes important, I think we'll all agree.

IPv6 may already be irrelevant – but so is moving off IPv4

The chief scientist of the Asia Pacific Network Information Center has a theory about why the world hasn't moved to IPv6.

The IPv6 Transition
(potaroo.net)
I wrote an article in May 2022, asking “Are we there yet?” about the transition to IPv6. At the time I concluded the article on an optimistic note, observing that we may not be ending the transition just yet, but we are closing in. I thought at the time that we won’t reach the end of this transition to IPv6 with a bang, but with a whimper.

Support for IPv6

If your systems are IPv6-enabled or enabling IPv6 is on your roadmap, good news—starting yesterday and continuing over the course of the next few weeks, Backblaze will be “flipping the switch” and turning on IPv6 for our S3 Compatible API.
