I have an ADSL connection for my home network. The ADSL modem is connected to an old box running Debian Testing which acts as a router and firewall.
My ISP has given me an IPv6 address to try out. I have the username and password. Basically, I now need to convert my ppp connection to deal with IPv6 addresses and perhaps make changes to my iptables firewall and dnsmasq. The latter (dnsmasq) can wait, however. I have been reading stuff online on how to go about doing this. Various testing confirms that Debian is ready for IPv6. For the ppp connection, I need to make a few changes in ppp config and install a DHCP client, wide-dhcpv6-client, and I should be more or less good to go. Got the details from this document: www.magyartelekom.com/static/sw/download/IPv6_user_guide4_eng.pdf [PDF] Before I go about trying this, I just wanted to know somebody here has accomplished this yet successfully and if there are any pitfalls to look out for. I also want to make sure that my iptables firewall continues to work, perhaps with some changes if necessary. Any other precautions and advice in this endeavor are greatly appreciated.
