„Mobile Internet in Germany is pretty bad.“
„Avoid the Telefonica/O2 carrier.“
I’ve heard that often in techie circles.

My own experience is a lot better than what’s usually rumored. I’ve tested quite a lot in the previous days and had pretty solid connectivity, both in cities (Mannheim/Frankfurt/Karlsruhe) as well as in really rural areas if southwest Germany (Pfälzer Wald/Odenwald)

Even during a cross-country high speed train ride (Mannheim, Frankfurt, Fulda, Erfurt, Leipzig, Berlin), I’ve had pretty decent network with just little problems (between Fulda and Erfurt, there’s room for improvement!)

But overall? I can absolute live with the level of connectivity. It’s not as bad as some people told me it would be. And they have rock solid native IPv6 😊

And since I now have the shiny OPNsense running at home:

RoadWarrior wireguard tunnel with a dedicated IPv6 /64 from my Telekom /56 allocation :-)

IPv6 for when I'm in legacy networks (Looking at you, Deutsche Bahn and German Hotels...)

#vpn #ipv6 #wireguard #freebsd #opnsense

Finally migrated my Gateway to OPNsense (of course with IPv6!), running on a FreeBSD server in bhyve (with PCIe passthrough for the Intel NICs)

One interface (vtnet0) is bridged to a VM Switch on the BSD server, to route traffic to other VMs and Jails 🙂

Running smooooth and gives me so much more insight and options than the old Unifi hardware, I used before.

Also my WiFi (also new) is now absolutely amazing:

❯ iw dev wlp2s0 info
Interface wlp2s0
ifindex 3
wdev 0x1
addr 82:20:1e:70:67:42
ssid M56-Home
type managed
wiphy 0
channel 69 (6295 MHz), width: 160 MHz, center1: 6345 MHz
txpower 16.00 dBm

Basically saturates the 1Gbps link entirely :)

I have to admit that there's something to be said for seeing that "accepted publickey for <user> from fe80::<hex>%<iface>" for a management login.

#IPv6 #LinkLocal

I've added more than 150 domains of the German Federal Government as an #IPv6 campaign to whynoipv6 and it's currently the second worst of all monitored campaigns 🙌

None of the sites hosted by @itzbund@social.bund.de seem to be IPv6 ready at all.

#IPv6 und #Netcup

Mir fliegt ziemlich exakt alle 20 Minuten das v6 weg bei Netcup, ein flush auf die Input-Chain plus neuladen des Regelsatzes hilft dann (für 20 Minuten). Ich habe RA in Verdacht.

Wenn ich sämtliches v6 in der Input-Chain gestatte, gibt es keine Ausfälle.
Wenn ich nur diese gestatte:

• destination unreachable (1)
• echo request (128)
• neighbor advertisement (136)
• neighbor solicitation (135)
• packet too big (2)
• parameter problem (4)
• redirect (137)
• router advertisement (134)
• router solicitation (133)

dann knallt es wieder nach 20 Minuten. Was könnte mir fe len? Oder ist es unbedenklich, einfach alles anzunehmen?

New blog post: "IPv6 at home — my simple solution" A very minimal, pragmatic solution so I can start working with IPv6 in my network at home. Experts might get a bit irritated and I hope you can channel your wisdom in friendly replies to this post so we can all learn and become better at IPv6, help a n00b!

Replies to this post will show up as comment under the blog post.

RDS Data API now supports IPv6
Posted on: Aug 29, 2025

#aws #ipv6

Spent quite some hours with FreeBSD networking on my Home-Server, but now it all works!!! 🥳

- 6 Intel NICs (Some with tagged, some untagged networks)

- Bridges and virtual switches for Behyve VMs and Jails

- Trunk-Port to my Aruba AP with all VLANs for different SSIDs

- Full IPv6 support on all networks

- Firewall (via pf) and NAT for Legacy-IP

- PCI Passthrough of one NIC to a Behyve HM (with IOMMU/vt-d)

FreeBSD is just a network beast 🙂

#freebsd #networking #bsd #ipv6

I'm going to do the horrible thing and use #NAT66 since I only get one ipv6 /64 subnet per vps from my VPS provider, and I need two... #ipv6

@jan Which vps provider, so we can steer clear of them? #ipv6

Endlich keine Gedanken mehr um das mobile Datenvolumen machen müssen oder auf irgendwelche Legacy Wi-Wi Netze ohne IPv6 angewiesen sein 🥳

Mit der Geschwindigkeit bin ich auch sehr zufrieden (Ich war aber auch vorher schon mit dem Netz von denen immer zufrieden in den letzten 5 Jahren).

Funny: Die App zeigt mir immer noch einen Button „mehr Daten buchen“. Da kommt dann aber „kein Angebot verfügbar“ 😂

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.
