#IPv6 project updates:

- I leased a /48 from https://freerangecloud.com and figured out how to get Bird to announce it from a Vultr VPS (shockingly cheap, $5/mo VPS + $8/year for the prefix)

- Took multiple hours last night and this morning but I finally got a /56 of that delegated into my #homelab over a Wireguard tunnel, including proper routing and return paths.

- I also have my Comcast-provided /60 delegated out to a couple VLANs and am shoving it into Mikrotik static DNS records.

My vague concept of a plan is now to get NAT64 and DNS64 working on another Vultr-delegated IPv6-only VLAN and then stick a VM there with some public services. Once I have that working I can think about bringing VMSave back onto #selfhosted infra and retiring that VPS.

Routing the /56 took a long time to figure out because I think the tutorials and forum posts I was trying to work from were out of date wrt what Mikrotik can do these days with simple routing rules. Once I abandoned the weird mangle rules those posts were telling me to use and went with what this blog post describes everything started working great:

I was trying to use Claude to help and ultimately that was completely useless. I guess not completely, it reinforced that I definitely can't rely on anything it says without citations.

Routing IPv6 Through Wireguard With MikroTik and Debian

With a recently allocated /29 subnet, a new RIPE NCC member set himself the challenge of routing parts of this IPv6 space to his home. The result? An IPv6-only setup with pure plain routing!
