    From Charles Pierson@1:106/127 to All on Wed Dec 30 18:57:10 2020
    I could use a bit of help testing if my ipv6 setup is working.

    Could someone try telnet to theoasisbbs.v6.rocks:1357 and see if it works?

    Thanks

    nslookup theoasisbbs.v6.rocks

    I was initially able to connect, but that was over IPv4. I can't connect or ping the IPv6 address:

    Crap. Is it possible that I need to use a different port for that address?

    theoasisbbs.ddns.net:1357 is strictly ipv4 and seems to work fine.

    I might have to fool with the port forwarding some more though.

    My home router has two places for allowing traffic in. "Port Forwarding" for IPv4 and "Port Opening" for IPv6. I use the same ports for each and it works ok, not sure if your router is different.

    Not sure if you have a GUI on your Pi or not. If you don't, you can:

    wget -q -O - http://checkipv6.dyndns.org

    To make sure you can get out on IPv6 and it'll tell you its public address (and make sure your router isn't NAT'ing IPv6, which isn't common but possible).

    If that matches your AAAA record, you know that's correct. Just need to fiddle with port forwarding/opening on your router to make sure that it's reaching your Pi.

    You can visit http://www.ipv6scanner.com to test if it's accessible to the outside.
