Hello Bj”rn,

 BF>    Ahhh... Shit! Are you sure?

root@OpenWrt:~# ping6 felten.yi.org
ping6: bad address 'felten.yi.org'

 BF>  (Yes of course you are sure, you're the expert here... :).

Not yet, I still have to go to at least two more levels of the he.net traning to deserve the title of "IPv6 guru". ;-)

 MvdV>> So how doI connect to it using IPv6?

 BF>    I have absolutely no idea.

Answer: I don't. In order to connect via IPv6 I need an IPv6 address for you. A SN query to felten.yi.org does not resolve... so I can not connect via IPv6. My browers connect via the IPv4 address;

root@OpenWrt:~# ping felten.yi.org
PING felten.yi.org (81.233.131.125): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 81.233.131.125: seq=0 ttl=116 time=91.405 ms
64 bytes from 81.233.131.125: seq=1 ttl=116 time=76.336 ms
64 bytes from 81.233.131.125: seq=2 ttl=116 time=127.783 ms
^C

It _appeared_ to work.

Ito does noit test the IPv6 availability of yoyr server at all. All that it tests if the client's ability to IPv6 connect to ipv6-test.com...

 BF>    On a totally unrelated matter:

I don't so torrents. But maybe this kind of trick trick will have some other uses...
