• Enabling IPv6 support for IPv4-only apps on Linux

  This allows to access both the IPv4 internet and local IPv4 islands[2] (basically old devices like printers).

  There's no DHCP or NAPT involved: the router gets a /56 prefix from the ISP and performs prefix delegation, so every device does SLAAC and assigns itself a fully routable IPv6 address.

  For DNS I use dnscrypt-proxy2: it's very easy to set up and it can do DNS64 and static hostnames mapping. Since prefix is stable, I just assign names to the stable EUI-64 addresses of the hosts I care about. Alternatively you can use bind for DNS64 and mDNS if you don't like manually assigning names. There's also a script to automatically assigns names based on ICMPv6 neighbours discovery [3].

  I also host some services on the IPv4 internet from IPv6-only hosts: for this you need the NAT64 equivalent of port forwarding, which is setting up static BIB entries [4].

  Had a look around - I think that’s what this repo may be doing - will definitely give it a go tomorrow!

• Nlbwmon does not measure ipv6 traffic

  I ran into the same issue and installed this to get traffic monitoring working for ipv6 addresses. Worked well enough for me, but be aware this is a bit of a hack. Given that you can be handed out you may notice that per host ips will tend to accumulate. I suggest using the "Calculate per host totals" with nlbwmon when using this.
