After Katrina I got very interested in building a system that would stay up as
long as possible - my current setup probably pulls about 12W including built-in
Wi-Fi.

$500 pays a lot of electricity when you can probably find a free P3 or P4 with
power stepping for free. You don't have to use a hard drive.

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

with 4 network interfaces - in an emergency you could run it off AA batteries.

Glad it's working... been a while since I looked at pfsense. Forgot it was
based on FreeBSD. I might have to consider it next time I change my router
out... I'd like to go to a lower power system some day.

Color me embarrassed. All these open browser windows for configuring/testing
IPv6 have been open for months and I hadn't done anything in awhile.
Google-Foo served up this link from back in November when I tried again:

Follow directions, add an outbound IPv6 LAN-->WAN outbound rule and here I am:
Good news! 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.
Your readiness score
10/10
for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced to go IPv6

I'm on Comcast... YMMV. 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.

Has anyone worked with Cox Residential in BR/Laf/NO on IPv6? 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.
