Yes, providers should make the switch as soon as possible. Yes, there are so many other advantages to IPv6. Unfortunately, nobody seems to care. There are of course a few ISPs who do, like my hosting provider, but they are really the exception to the rule.

Anyway, for all of you who do have v6 connectivity, whether it’s native or tunneled, you could already visit this site with it. To celebrate our impending doom (which is running out of v4 addresses), I’ve now also opened up my CGI-proxy for all v6 connections. This, in theory, will enable you to browse ‘normal’ v4 sites without needed an actual v4 address. I know, I know, not that anyone is purely on v6 anyway, but I had promised some IPv6 goodies a long time ago, so consider this my first.

You can use the proxy by browsing to https://project-freedom.v6.gunthy.net. The certificate is self-signed, so don’t worry about any errors in that department your browser may be throwing. Feel free to add it to your certificate store so you don’t get that message any longer.

If anyone has more ideas for other v6 goodies, please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll look into it.

I haven’t been blogging much but hopefully this new application will change that, so keep an eye out!

The best thing about the nexus 1 is that you can dictate what you want to write. Of course this isn’t perfect, since the application still makes quite a lot of mistakes, so you need to make manual corrections here and there. However, it beats the hell out of typing everything.

Anyway, stay tuned for (hopefully) more posts.

Just a quick post to let you know that this site is now also available on IPv6! Check it out on http://www.v6.gunthy.net.  Of course you need to have an IPv6-enabled internet connection.

For those who don’t have the option yet to get native IPv6 (which will be most of the people, including me ;-) ), you can get a free tunnel from the friendly people over at SixXS, who are also providing my tunnels. The site is filled with quality information on how to get it working. Once you’re up and running, don’t forget to check out the Cool IPv6 Stuff page, which immediately gives you some v6-fun!

Don’t know what this strange thing I’m writing about is? Read up on the wiki page and learn all about it. Better sooner than later in my opinion, as you will find yourself on this new technology at some point in time anyway!

For now, enjoy the v6-version here, and keep an eye out for things, I might be including some nice v6-only goodies once in a while ;-) .

From now on, this blog is reachable & readable (;-)) from my new domain … www.gunthy.net !!

Enjoy!

After some time not blogging at all, and even taking the site down for a very brief amount of time, I’ve decided I’m back :-) . I’ll try to write again on a regular basis, provided of course there is something to write about…

I’ve also added a new toy. From now on, you can talk to me on IRC. Use the link to your left or the one in the menu to the right to open a java-based IRC client. The channel is hosted on KreyNet, which is mainly a dutch speaking network. For that reason, my channel is only available through this webchat. If you feel you should have access through your own IRC client, you’re always free to drop me a line & I’ll see if your claim is valid ;-) .

Don’t worry if I don’t reply right away, I’m not 24/7 on there, but if you give me your contact details in a private message, I’ll be sure to let you know something in due time.
