After getting IPv6 enabled on my LAN I compiled in IPv6 and ip6tables support into the kernel on plasma. Today I finally got around to finishing off the IPv6 setup. I must say it was very easy and the best part is it did not require a tunnel broker! Instead it is using 6to4.

First off I copied the firewall script to a new file named firewall6. In that file I replaced all instances of iptables with ip6tables. I also replaced icmp with icmpv6. Finally I added the script to the /etc/conf.d/local.start file and also executed manually. That was enough to get ip6tables up and running.

Next I setup the 6to4 by adding the following to /etc/conf.d/net:

link_6to4="eth0"
config_6to4=("ip6to4")
depend_6to4() {
   need net.eth0
}

To finish it off I ran:

ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.6to4
rc-update add net.6to4 default
/etc/init.d/net.6to4 start

At this point `ifconfig 6to4` showed that we had an inet6 address of 2002:423b:6dbf::1.

I then added AAAA records to DNS for the plasma.querx.com and www.andyblyler.com zones. So if you have an IPv6 enabled browser and have an IPv6 internet connection you should be able to browse this page using IPv6!
