I see in the list of IPv6 nodes that your ISP offered IPv6 via 6RD. 6RD is a transition technique. They never got around to offer native IPv6 and it seems they are now discontinuing 6RD as well.

My suggestion would be to follow Markus. Vote with the wallet.

I see that you no longer advrtise AAAA records for your nodes. So for the time being I will list you as 6DWN in the list of IPv6 nodes.


Cheers, Michiel
