General Questions

Hi. I have Monowall 1.3b15 running on a Soekris4801 for several years now and it is fine. Recently I started to play with IPv6. I have a tunnel and subnet and all seems correctly configured. I can ping6 nodes on internet from my soekris both using the WAN and the LAN address (in the Ping/Traceroute webinterface). From my workstation with IPv6 adres I can ping6 the LAN port of the soekris but I cannot get across to WAN or internet. Should I enter a v6 route to force traffic into the tunnel to SixXS? What is the issue here?

TIA, Egbert Jan

If you are using Sixxs, I am having problems too.
I reverted back to Hurricane Electric temporarily.
Check the status of your PoP and the ones nearby.
It may be their problem, rather than your's.

TNX.

The problem is more complex... My ISP is probably blocking protocol 41 which makes a normal SixXS tunnel not pingable. SixXS will disable the tunnel because of this. When I switch to AICCU Monowall seems to drop all IMCPv6 traffic in and out. Dunno why. At least I got AICCU/AYIYA more or less working but nly AFTER opening port 5072 udp/tcp on my ADSL modem/router (Speedtouch 780)!! This is not clrearly indicated on the SixXS site!! I've mailed Jeroen Massar about this.

For the moment I have  established a fixed tunnel to Hobbynet (at the BIT datacenter, another IPv6 pioneer) which seems to work fine, although my tunnel endpoint is not pingable. Fron inside there is no problem pinging the remote tunnel end.
