Hello Tommi,

Ah, now I get it. You use the http proxy feature of binkd! I never thought about that. I always skipped that section in the docs, thinking "I will most likely never need that". I never realised it could be used for a 4to6 proxy as well. And the reason for that in turn is because I do not need a 4to6 proxy for my binkd. It handles IPv6 natively...

Of course this trick only works for binkd. We see two "IO" flags in the list of IPv6 nodes. It is my understanding that they use a 6to4 relay for incoming. They have no outgoing IPv6 for their binkd client. They both run Radius. Your trick won't work for them...


Cheers, Michiel
