I cannot believe this is real, eBay auctions for Bluesky invite codes.

I setup BGP over a pair of GREv6 tunnels on my Mikrotik router, allowing me to use my RIPE IPv6 space over multiple carriers. The other side of the GRE tunnels is an OpenWRT VM at the colo running BIRD, also announcing my v6 space upstream.

I still need the DHCPv6 clients to know where I should static route the GRE tunnel endpoints and have an interface address. There is no default route other than BGP with the tunnels.

“I found out just now that my WISP backup connection is now offering IPv6, problem is that I can't DHCPv6 to the LAN from two separate carrier pools (Spectrum and Starry). Gonna end up having to setup GREv6 tunnels and start using my RIPE space, since Mikrotik cannot NAT v6.”
