IPv6, Are you ready?
Some of you may have noticed, but most probably haven’t. All my important public facing services are now IPv6 ready!
Congratulations, your mail system is IPv6 enabled!

But are you ready? You can check using test-ipv6.com.
Unfortunately the 2 biggest ISP’s in Belgium don’t offer native IPv6. You can however get a tunnel and a routed /64 subnet for free from many tunnel brokers. I’m a very happy user of SixXS, check them out if you need a tunnel!
Getting an IPv6 address for your computer is just the first step, e-mail is still a big hassle to get right.
Simply send an e-mail to bouncer <at> freenet6.net if you get a reply, you are in luck!
So get your act together, get ready! The day will come.
Some more information can be found here: World IPv6 Launch and wikipedia.
But what about the place you visit? Are they ready?
There is this neat little FireFox plugin called SixIndicator, start asking all your favorite non IPv6 ready websites to get there gears moving and get ready!
