lambaliciousIt's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.
miss phantHa I can remember the ipv6 of cloudflare DNS just fine! It’s uh… something : something : something :: 1111
Morphit 2606:4700:4700::1111
Hmm, maybe Google is easier:
2001:4860:4860::8888
Quad9 is 2620:fe::fe or 2620:fe::9
I don’t understand why they can’t get better addresses than that. Like surely 1::1 would be valid?
Edit: So IANA only control addresses 2001:: and up and there are quite a few IETF reservations within that. I don’t know why they picked such a high number to start at. Everything else seems IETF reserved with a little space allocated for special purposes (link-local, multicast, etc.).
Address space is so huge that iirc the only global addresses in use are 2xxx::
Its so huge that it’s not needed to use anything else is the goal as far as I see. If it starts with 2, it’s global.
Why start at 0x2001 though? Why not 0x0001? Then we could have addresses like 1:1:1::1 or 1:2:3::4.
