Looking for a sponsoring LIR for my ASN.
I run a small non‑commercial network with a WireGuard uplink via Route64 and plan a second upstream (HE POP) for redundancy and BGP/IPv6 learning.
I can maintain IRR/RPKI. Any LIR willing to sponsor an ASN is welcome.

At #denog17, the people behind #Netzbremse unveiled a new feature: a #speedtest using five different transit providers to (hopefully) uncover unfair peering practices of ISPs, in this case the #DeutscheTelekom #Telekom, but this is very likely helpful for other situations as well. I wanted to dig deeper and found that it uses five different IPv4 prefixes of #Cloudflare that are advertised to different transit providers. Using #HurricaneElectric’s BGP view we get:

• https://bgp.he.net/net/104.29.111.0/24#_graph
• https://bgp.he.net/net/104.29.124.0/24#_graph
• https://bgp.he.net/net/104.29.125.0/24#_graph
• https://bgp.he.net/net/104.29.126.0/24#_graph
• https://bgp.he.net/net/104.29.127.0/24#_graph

I’m not deep enough into the BGP game to understand what transit provider is really pushed for in each prefix.

(unfortunately #IPv4only, I guess they didn’t want to dedicate five /48 prefixes as well for this project).

Proxy Services Feast on Ukraine’s IP Address Exodus

#IPv6 household/home office subnetting day for me. I've used the free #HurricaneElectric #TunnelBroker for a few years for outbound access using a single routed /64 (because my ISP doesn't offer IPv6 and doesn't have a timeline to support it).

Time to divvy up that /48 into /64s (per physical or VLAN segment), and corral all the VMs per physical server within a /112 address space.

First project on IPv6? Setting up/testing mail servers on a few dormant domains I registered years ago - thanks to the #RYOMS book (technically the more aptly named "Ruin your mail by running it yourself, with insights from Darth Mailer" special edition by @mwl

I think the hardest part will be ignoring the 10.x.y.z IPv4 addresses I've used for years to remember specific servers/workstations, and relying on their DNS names instead.

Any blog posts to recommend of how people are using IPv6 internet for home access in the US?

I've just disabled my home office free #HurricaneElectric #IPv6 tunnel for now because I get too many captchas and blocked sites when accessing the internet over IPv6 (the tunnel is connected via the firewall public WAN IP). Per online posts this is likely due to reputation/geolocation issues with their free tunnel prefixes, which is not surprising.

My ISP only supports IPv4 and has no timeline to support IPv6.

At this point, I am considering either only using the private network scope for local devices (no IPv6 Internet), change settings to prefer IPv4, or setting up an single local pc/server (instead of the firewall) as the 4to6 client endpoint so I can still see IPv6 internet.

lmao, Network Solutions has basically taken down Hurricane Electric's DNS all of today:

"Network Solutions has decided to put our domain name on Client Hold due to a single phishing complaint about a web page, which happens to just be a page of information about another domain from bgp.he.net. Network Solutions has been contacted, and refuses to handle this issue in ANY expedited manner.

Executives from Hurricane have been calling and emailing Network Solutions
for HOURS trying to have this addressed. If anyone has an escalation contact at Network Solutions, please email it to me at [email protected], or [email protected]. Thanks.
