Let’s do try to not make that happen somehow, though.

It’s never the managers who suffer first, is it?

Sounds like a global thing, really…

While there’s something to be said for Android vs iPhone from an ideological standpoint, that also doesn’t apply for KDE and Gnome, both of which are OSS, bay-bee

I thought all third party apps already stopped working?

What’s SOC?

Shame, it’s worked perfectly for me for many years. No idea what went wrong with you, of course, and it doesn’t sound like you’re up for troubleshooting. Oh well, hope you have a better time with Google or Apple stuff!

Uh, but…OsmAnd is a phone app. So you’re saying you used the website on your phone’s browser, then? I’m not sure if that has an offline function, though I never used it myself. Does it say it has that function? Otherwise I think you will have to install an app, first.

Maybe you downloaded the offline map files, but had nothing to open them with. Apps use their own versions of the map files, by the way, those files you download from the website are for other use-cases.

Strange, it’s been very very reliable for many years, for me. Did you use OsmAnd?

I hope i can find people to play this with me sometime. Looks like it has potential, and my solo try was amusing.

Perhaps some kind of prompt to get the creativity flowing more would help, with the questions asked. “Who scared you lately?” “What interesting place did you learn about recently?” Idunno something like that?

I wonder if that’s been fixed yet. You’d think so…

Wow.

He just did.

Ooooohhhh snaaaappp

This dude has been making great videos on Inkscape, I remember seeing one of his videos before. Good stuff.

Here is a manual-like document provided by another internet provider that uses the same router. I don’t think it’s much help, though, as far as I could tell IPv6 is not even mentioned in it.

I can’t really find anything more helpful… At least I got the server working again, for now, using IPv4 again. It’s something.

Oh, I forgot, there’s one more setting regarding IPv6:

In the port forwarding section for IPv6 instead of making a port be TCP or UDP, I can also select something called ICMPv6 REQ. I had already enabled this to test if it did anything, but it didn’t seem so.

$ dig @9.9.9.9 myserver.now-dns.net AAAA

It does indeed return my IPv6 address! Good to know that that works, at least.

IPv6 doesn’t need port forwarding really but I suspect that is how you allow access

Yes, I had the same thought. I had read that IPv6 doesn’t open ports per se but rather allows access in a firewall or something like that.

Have a look around in that menu a screen shot might help.

Unfortunately the amount of settings for IPv6 is quite scarce.

• I can set up a DMZ for IPv6:

• I can “open ports” (the screenshot I already posted basically shows all I can do there: https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/e0a39af4-aef5-4a15-a6e7-ec78621a704a.png)

• I can either turn on IPv6 or turn it off:

…and as far as I could find, that rounds off all the settings to do with IPv6.

It might help if you tell us where you are (very roughly - country and perhaps city), your ISP and router model. I can get you to the point of all of this working but there are rather a lot of unknowns. I can see that your router offers Dutch or English so I will guess you are from the Netherlands.

That’s right, I’m in the Netherlands, in Utrecht to be exact. My ISP is Youfone and the router model is a ZTE H369A

Thanks again for all your help!

Hopefully you have at least one of those set up in DNS with a AAAA address.

I suspect that this is not the case, but also I’m not sure how I would set this up. Is that something I should configure on my internet router? This is what the DNS settings there look like at the moment:

A quick check would be:

$ host mywebserver.example.co.uk

Well, that gives me this:

host myserver.now-dns.net 
myserver.now-dns.net has address 192.168.1.96
myserver.now-dns.net has IPv6 address (my global IPv6 address here)
myserver.now-dns.net mail is handled by 1 myserver.now-dns.net.

Entering my IPv6 address between square brackets in the browser still doesn’t load, though.

The final bit of the equation is that your internet router needs to allow access “from all to globally routeable ipv6 address of the web server”.

Is that the same as setting a DMZ for IPv6 to the web server? That’s an option I could find in the router settings, though enabling it didn’t seem to make any difference…

By the way—don’t know how relevant this is, but there’s two ways for “port forwarding” on my router for IPv6:

I can either use the MAC address of my server or use the IPv6 address.

When I use the MAC address, scanning the opened port 80 works with online port scanning tools, but when I use the link-local address, the port appears closed. Not sure if that means anything, but I figured more information can’t hurt.

Thanks for all the pointers! Let’s see, I’ll take this one by one.

• Can you get to it locally via IPv6 as well as IPv4?

Well, turns out reaching a link-local address with a browser is not really easy to do, but tried with SSH port forwarding and that seems to work, at least…

(I used this command on my PC:

ssh -N -L '8082:127.0.0.1:80' fe80::dea6:32ff:fe54:67fb%eno1

where fe80::dea6:32ff:fe54:67fb%eno1 is the link-local address of my server. Then I browsed to 127.0.0.1:8082 on my PC.)

• Can you get to it via IPv4 externally?

I hadn’t thought of testing this! Yes, I can. I also tested by navigating to the IPv4 address with my phone on data (so without wifi)

• ping -6 google.com[1] - from the web server, does it work?

It does, yes.

• ping -6 google.com[2] - from your PC/laptop.phone, does it work?

Likewise, yes, this works.

• https://test-ipv6.com

This works, at least from my PC. I tried to reach it from the server using w3m for the heck of it but without Javascript that didn’t work. Alas.

I really appreciate your help, I hope we can get to the bottom of this. Otherwise I think I’ll just revert to IPv4, as that will probably still work. But I can’t stand IPv6 not working!
