Aaron John Dizonquick question. does IPV6 IP addresses work with #DVSwitch Mobile. i'm trying to get the cheapest cloud provider to host my #Allstar node. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #Allstarlink
N2DYI@aaronjohn0412 Allstarlink itself doesn't support IPV6. You absolutely must have IPV4.
@N2DYI o, thanks for the info. i'm on the right track now.
@N2DYI sorry for the newbie question but i know you're the right person to answer this. haha. is there a way for an IPV6 IP address to be accessed via an IPV4 address? so basically to make it think that it is an IPV4 address?
@aaronjohn0412 There are 4/6/4 tunnels. This is how T-Mobile in the U.S. does things. It's a native IPV6-only network with translation carrier-side for IPV4 addresses.
@N2DYI ok, i'm lost there. so it means this will depend on the network?
@N2DYI so, this means there is no way I can run an allstarlink node from an IPV6 cloud provider
@aaronjohn0412 Correct. There absolutely must be a real IPV4 address to register with.
@N2DYI ok, got it. thank you!
@aaronjohn0412 Out of curiosity, how are you planning to use a cloud-based Allstarlink node? If you just want a personal connection to ASL, you can do that with DVSM directly, either through WT or node mode.
Of course, you can't host incoming connections.
Of course, you can't host incoming connections.
@N2DYI well, i've done those modes already. however sometimes i find it dropping and sometimes the node admins are telling me that my mode is not broadcasting its stats and that is required on their rules. i told them that i am using those modes and they do not understand. they told me that if i own the node, i'll be able to change the settings on it.
@aaronjohn0412 This is true. Node mode doesn't report stats because the mechanism for that doesn't exist.
@N2DYI haha, i don't know why they do not understand. maybe they are just not aware of this feature yet.
