Hello Tommi,

On Sunday July 23 2017 09:58, you wrote to me:

Nice...

Of course it won't do me any good in a situatione where I only have IPv4 available for my laptop and my main system is only available via IPv6.

Until now I use my laptop only for reading e-mail, a bit of browsing and running my point system. I do not need an IPv6 vanity address for that. I have no need for full access to my main system.

 MvdV>> So... with every change to my system I ask "will it still work
 MvdV>> if I loose my public IPv4 address"?

 TK> Yes! I wouldn't recommend it for you if that wasn't the case. :)

Great! ;-)

As you may have gathered by now I am seriously considering the possibility that I will no longer have a public IPv4 address in the foreseeable not too distant future. I want to be prepared when it happens.

Not so long ago I ran a 24h test simulating an INO4 situation. The results were encouraging and I plan to do some more tests.  Perhaps I will run a one week test in September. I will have my binkp server answer on IPv6 only, I will remove the A record from the host name and I will fly the INO4 flag in de the nodelist. I will poll those links that are IPv4 only on a regular basis.


Cheers, Michiel
