I'm going to try to see if I can get IPv6 working for my linodes.



If you're in Fremont, Newark, or Dallas, it's pretty easy... Just open a ticket (I hear there's actually a button now) and reboot.


There is a button in the dashboard. A script of theirs will alter your MAC address and reboot your machine. When it comes back up, IPv6 is working like a champ.

I just did mine; I got a new IPv6 address and the same IPv4 address.


Well, there went my excuse. I tried to set up a tunnel the other day and couldn't get it to work, but this worked like a champ. I can proudly say my client now owns two of the few IPv6-enabled porn sites on the planet.

CloudFlare handled the DNS like a champ (although I did have to disable and re-enable acceleration for one of the domains to get it to work).


Indeed! That was super easy. DNS was fairly easy too (through godaddy).
