I built mine using an ALIX board - http://store.netgate.com/ALIX2D13-DIY-Kit-P172.aspx - it’s a bit underpowered for a VPN but does fine for home networking. One of the nice things about this configuration is that you can build the WiFi Access point into the firewall by plugging a wireless card in and then apply rules to the interface. It also has good support for multiple WAN connections - at work I have COX and DSL for backup.

I was looking at those. But, $500 seems a bit steep for a home router. I can roll my own atom system for less.

All these open browser windows for configuring/testing IPv6 have been open for months and I hadn't done anything in awhile.

Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6. Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6 Internet access.

I have a debian box that is running as my router. I couldn't get v6 to work with comcast with the ISC client. I had to install the wide-dhcpv6-client package and go from there. That was for the WAN connection. Google around for the wide dhcp package and there are some howto docs out there. I had to cobble together some scripts to get it all to work. For the internal network, I chose to support auto config so that all my devices would work... so, I'm running radvd on the internal interface of my debian router. Comcast supposedly will delegate larger than a /64, but I gave up on getting that to work. Seemed like the route wasn't getting set on their end. I ran into a number of issues getting it set up... and it's a bit hazy now because it's been a while and I didn't keep good notes. But, if you need further info, I can look on my running system and let you know how I have things here.

Support told me a few weeks ago it's been deployed in our area. I've learned that I get the best tech support from them on Sunday so today I hit them up in web chat for instructions or methods they use. Anything to get me started. They want me to call their Home Networking Group. Since I'd rather pull out my fingernails than try to explain how I'm running a PfSense box with static and dynamic VPNs, a handful of creative rules, Macs, Linux (see there's a link in here somewhere to the list) and Windows, plus everything else I can think of to make life harder for them, I'm hoping someone else has done this before and is willing to share. -- Keith Stokes _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Keith Stokes _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
