  • Signal Desktop messaging app having trouble with IPv6
    2 projects | /r/ipv6 | 8 Jun 2023
    For Linux if you have the need for 464XLAT you can use clatd
  • Best practices for home network?

    I'd say no. This will break anything that uses literal IPv4 addresses, like games. Unless you also run clatd or something. Just run dual stack, then your IPv4 stuff will continue to work (as well as it ever has, through layers of NAT).
  • are we IPv6 ready?
    1 project | /r/ipv6 | 1 Dec 2022
    If you're not running IPv4 at all, you need clients to run something like clatd to do NAT46 locally.
  • IPv6 Only Cloud Server
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Jul 2022
    You can run this on linux to get ipv4 on all types of connections: https://github.com/toreanderson/clatd

    Most other OSes like Windows also have a built in CLAT implementation that works similarly.

  • IPv6 is coming.
    1 project | /r/ProgrammerHumor | 7 Apr 2022
    On the two machines that have this (and whatever appliance devices, which I guess would include our phones), it means I have a full 464XLAT system, so applications running aren't necessarily aware that I don't have a full dual-stack network. On the flip side, I don't have clatd or anything similar running on my laptop, so any software that tries explicitly to create an IPv4 connection is going to fail.
  • TMO Home Internet - First Impressions
    1 project | /r/tmobileisp | 17 Jul 2021
    There's nothing specific about t-mobiles 464xlat, you just need a clatd to do it. This one should work just fine
  • Connecting to an ipv4 system without DNS entry on an ipv6 only network
    1 project | /r/ipv6 | 30 Mar 2021
    This is generally why 464XLAT was invented - at the OS level there's a CLAT daemon that presents itself as an IPv4 networking stack to applications, it translates the requested IPv4 address to a synthetic IPv6 address, sends that to a NAT64 upstream, gets the response over IPv6, and gives the responses to the application over IPv4 again.

    Typically paired with 464xlat in an IPv6-only environment, for programs that are hard-coded for IPv4.

    An excellent `just-works` example is https://github.com/toreanderson/clatd
