<h1>How to Get IPv6 Connectivity</h1>
|
||
<p>A comprehensive guide to enabling IPv6 on your network</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h2>1. Check if You Already Have IPv6</h2>
|
||
<p>Before taking any action, first verify if you already have IPv6 connectivity. Many ISPs provide IPv6 by default, but it might be disabled on your router.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Quick IPv6 Test</h3>
|
||
<p>Visit <a href="https://test-ipv6.com/" target="_blank">test-ipv6.com</a> to check your current IPv6 status.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Check Your Router Settings</h3>
|
||
<p>IPv6 is often disabled by default on many routers. Common routers with IPv6 disabled by default include:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Ubiquiti UniFi</strong> - Check Settings → Networks → LAN → IPv6 Interface Type</li>
|
||
<li><strong>ASUS</strong> - Check Advanced Settings → IPv6</li>
|
||
<li><strong>TP-Link</strong> - Check Advanced → Network → IPv6</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Netgear</strong> - Check Advanced → Setup → IPv6</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Enable IPv6 on Your Router</h3>
|
||
<p>If your ISP supports IPv6 but it's disabled on your router:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Log into your router's admin interface</li>
|
||
<li>Look for IPv6 settings (usually under Network or Advanced)</li>
|
||
<li>Set IPv6 to "Enabled" or "Auto" mode</li>
|
||
<li>Save and reboot the router</li>
|
||
</ol>

<h2>2. Contact Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)</h2>
|
||
<p>If you don't have IPv6 after checking your router, contact your ISP. Some providers already support IPv6 but may need to enable it on your connection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>What to ask your ISP:</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>"Do you support IPv6?"</li>
|
||
<li>"Can you enable IPv6 for my account?"</li>
|
||
<li>"Will my current router work with IPv6?"</li>

<h2>3. Paid VPN Providers with IPv6 Support</h2>
|
||
<p>Privacy-focused VPN providers that also provide IPv6 connectivity. These are considered the best in the industry.</p>
|
||
<p>Note that you may have to enable IPv6 in the app settings.</p>
|
||
<p>It's also possible to route all your internet traffic through one of these by installing WireGuard or OpenVPN on your router if it supports it.</p>
|
||
<p>All VPN providers listed have a no logs policy and support both OpenVPN and WireGuard.</p>

<h2>6. Roll-Your-Own IPv6 proxy or VPN with a VPS</h2>
|
||
<p>If you want full control and don’t mind a little command-line work, spin up a cheap VPS that comes with native IPv6 and tunnel your traffic through it. The VPS acts as an IPv6 “exit node” while your home connection remains IPv4-only.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Recommended VPS Providers (with native IPv6)</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>kyun.host</strong> – /64 IPv6 prefix on every VM (<a href="https://kyun.host" target="_blank">kyun.host</a>)</li>
|
||
<% /* <li><strong>servers.guru</strong> – /64 IPv6 prefix on their ARM offerings, no IPv6 on their regular VM's (<a href="https://servers.guru/" target="_blank">servers.guru</a>)</li> */ %>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Easiest Way to Use Your VPS</h3>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<strong>Socks Proxy (quick & dirty)</strong><br>
|
||
<pre>ssh -D 1080 -N user@YOUR-VPS-IP</pre>
|
||
Then set browser/OS to <code>socks5://localhost:1080</code>. All proxied traffic exits through your VPS with IPv6 connectivity.
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>You can also setup a shadowsocks proxy or a WireGuard VPN, but that falls beyond the scope of this guide.</p>

<h4>✅ Advantages</h4>
|

<ul>
|
||
<li>Absolute control; can run other services too</li>
|
||
<li>Works behind CGNAT or restrictive ISPs</li>
|
||
<li>Very low cost (often cheaper than a VPN)</li>
