Moving to IPv6 network

In your home network,

I'll probably put all the ONTs/LTE devices in Bridge mode and configure the connection + load balancing on a good router. This way, You don't need a dedicated load balancer.

And AFAIK, All the devices in the middle like your wifi routers, switches and so on, Don't have to support 6to4 or 4to6. These devices just have to support IPv4 and IPv6.
 
multiple devices should also be possible like this using subdomains.
No, That does not work in spectrum.

You'll get this error if you try to create multiple apps in spectrum with SSH protocol.

What is 6to4???
It's a transition mechanism. If your ISP only provides IPv4 and you want to provide IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity to your end users/devices, You can use 6to4 to provide IPv6 connectivity to your end users.

All the upstream traffic from your router will be IPv4 but your end users will still have IPv6 access. Read more here, 6to4
 
Checkout Tailscale, which uses wireguard-go implementation. A good competitor to ZeroTier with much better bandwidth and latency.
 


@varkey - running cost for that server doesn't matter - since it's anyways always on for other purposes. I run multiple websites (for my cricket team, a friend etc) and it's much easier to do it on my own server (changes/deployment etc). Also, the webserver connects to a few stuff at my home and proxies those over internet.

Regarding the ease of deployment, say you establish a Wireguard tunnel between your personal PCs / laptops it would definitely look and appear as a local server itself. The only difference would be 10-20ms latency as compared to 1-2ms latency for the local server.

The proxying can also happen over the wireguard tunnel. For all intents and purposes, it would be very similar to a local server.

This way you have many advantages

1. No need to worry about public IP addresses, IPv6 to IPv4 etc.
2. Better reliability for your web sites.

Yes, oracle is giving 2 micro vps, marked as "always free".

I do have managed switch wherever required... but internal switches that are just to allow wired backbone around the house for Google Wifi points are unmanaged.

Saw the video you shared (and a few more of his)... what exactly did you buy from him? and for how much?

Thanks, I did check Cloudflare's SSH offering - have setup Oracle Cloud + Zerotier + socat for now, if I face any other issues, will check again.

As of now, I have tunnelled HTTP, HTTPS and SSH ... all via above setup - since these are all hobby projects with not much traffic, it simplifies a lot of setup... also, that means I need not go for any hardware as of now... (for PFSense etc)
 
@jayanta525 - looked into Tailscale... looked awesome and sounded pretty simple to setup... may be if I am not satisfied from any of the current setup, I will give it a go... or when I just feel like experimenting :-D
 
@varkey - yeah, went with tunnelling 80, 443, 22 as of now... working good. Saves me hardware cost in short term.

Long term, I am looking into this router - TL-R605 | SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router | TP-Link India since anyways, world will move towards IPv6

It's cheap (< 5000/-) and has IPv6 Support in development... It will be an upgrade from my current TL-R480T+ (which I am very satisfied with). Opinions?

He is not seller, if you PM him what you want he will give you good sellers. I bought many things from one of his contact

This device does not support wireguard so I'll recommend against it because wireguard is significantly better than ipsec/openvpn.
 
I wouldn't suggesting going for the TL-R605, instead look at running OpenWrt, with multi-wan(mwan3) support, or a better option, MPTCP.

Or hardcore-solutions like pfsense or opnsense.
