After having had my IPv6 tunnel with HE configured for a few months now, I’ve finally gotten around to putting a host on my end of this tunnel (this site) and running through HE’s IPv6 certification program.
I plan to blog more about the lessons learned as I stood up this site, particularly as I planned to make the site’s connectivity and mgmt as focused on IPv6 as I could (seems only fitting, if one of my planning blog topics is supposed to be IPv6, this site should eat that dog food eh?).
You may have noticed the IPv6 certification banner on the right side of the site. Hurricane Electric, in addition to their free tunnelbroker service, provides an educational service that steps through the processes and tech knowledge around IPv6, to help ready the industry for the upcoming migration towards IPv6. Even for a network guy like myself, this certification process was both helpful and a good learning experience (even if I was setting up sendmail and mx records to point to an IPv6 host instead of just handling routing and security).
If you’re just starting out with IPv6, I highly recommend taking a look at HE’s educational resources.
