Amusingly @geerlingguy inspired to me to try IPv6 one-more time with Verizon FiOS on my Debian router (something that has never worked for me)..and I got it going. Verizon's IPv6 documentation is basically only available through hear-say and rumors.. Their situation is so weird. Anyway I shared some tips and sloppy reflection in a quick blog post.
PS Jeff -- I totally get it!
Stumbling Through IPv6 with Verizon FiOS on my Debian Trixie Router
Preamble Pre-rambling I’ve played with IPv6 at home a few times in the past. For my first attempt, I used one of the Hurricane Electric tunnels. I quickly experienced Netflix blocking traffic from it, and also learned about the IPv6 peering saga between Hurricane Electric and Cogent. For my second attempt, I leased a /48 from Free Range Cloud and back-hauled it from a VPS through a wireguard tunnel. Overall it was neat, but HE wasn’t practical for serious use, and adding latency by back-hauling internet traffic to a VPS didn’t seem very practical either.
