Hey guys,
I have a linux server hosted in a NZ datacenter. It has a main IP - on IPv4. It is also assigned 10 IPv6 addresses. The purpose of this server is to act as proxy and route traffic through it.
Does Vodafone support accessing IPv6 servers? I have been told that to access them, the full path needs to support it. That means my Desktop > Router > ISP.
I can ping my local computer and router IPv6 address but what I fail to ping is any of my IPv6 addresses. Online tools come back with a successful response but not from my computer.
When I try to ping my server I get the failure seen below.
Is this really because of Vodafone not yet fully supporting IPv6? Or Vodafone not allowing IPv6 passthru?
